Just the standard thing they added while printing the originals and it will be part of any uncropped fake too.

To me the big tip off is the sepia tone. I don't think they were supplied to the press that way. And the distributors usually had a more readable "property of " or "copyright by" on the back.

It wouldn't be a bad photo to frame at say $10.
