Post a scan, but they sound like modern prints which are constantly advertised on ebay. |

I looked on ebay and did find the lithos you mentioned. The pictures are the same but these are 8" by 11.5" and are very "weathered" and have the smell and feel of old paper. I suppose it is possible that someone could have faked this effect and it does look like the repro lithos were already in existence at the time I got these two items. |

This is a modern print and to quote my late mom---It ain't worth the paper it was printed on! |

I was the one that pointed Frank to the site to ask the question if anyone had seen these large color N173 prints before. I thought at first they had to be modern, but after seeing the pics, Im not so sure. I thought that if they were fakes I would have seen them before somewhere, but I have never seen the color N173 before the ones on eBay. The ones sold on eBay are fairly new if Im not mistaken, and much smaller that what Frank has. Heres the back pic, and a close up. Frank Ward

The ones on ebay are exactly the same but not aged to try to dupe someone. They are the same size. They were created by Robert Ball of Lexington, KY from original N173's. He had someone do paintings of them and then create the lithographs. They are printed on kind of rough paper. |

It always amazes me how a can from the 1800's can rust to the extent this one has, but a paper label glued to it can escape virtually un-harmed. |

Don't they teach you guys anything down south---it's the law of selective degradation. And besides paper don't rust! |

But weren't red socks sold in cans in the 1800s? |

The image was no doubt lifted from the book, 'Smoker's Art' by Davidson & Davison-- which, if you've never heard of it, is a nice coffee table book on old tobacco labels, bands, etc. |

I believe the Boston Red Sox came into existence in 1901, and were only sold in jars, not in cans. |
