			The paper , the print quality etc.. its hard to explain how to spot fake paper items but I think there should be some articles on the forum if you search it. Did you pay a lot?

			I saw it at the Scott Antique show - it is indeed a reproduction of (most likely) a catalog page.  The materials are artificially aged, as is usually the case.  I gave my opinion to the dealer, for what it's worth.  Sorry!

|  Sorry its fake. 
			
			These have been placed on Ebay for years and they are made to deceive.  Only reason I know is because I got suckered myself years ago.  I report them to Ebay every chance I get. Sorry to tell you,,,, |
