Info requested on 1890's cabinet card

Could the same be said for this picture as well, that it is a fake? Also from a Red Wing Studio, but with a very well known Kelly pose.

I was wondering the same. Last time I looked it had over 40 watchers per WatchCount and the price keeps climbing.

Fake as well.

The back of the first repro says 'Duplicate can be had at any time'. So there you have it - 2013 duplicate.

The Kelly sold for $1425 so hopefully the buyer doesn't get stuck with a fake at that price. I notified the seller of why the Allen I bought was a reproduction and even pointed him to this thread and told him the Kelly is likely in the same boat.

He is planning on refunding my money on the Allen, but I never heard back from him about the Kelly.

I'm just seeing this thread. I actually emailed the seller prior to his auction ending informing him that this cabinet was more than likely a re-production. Even sent him pics of similar fakes with this same image. He never replied and let the auction run. I hope you get resolution to this, but I have my doubts due to his non responsiveness.

I was considering a bid until I read this thread a couple days ago, thank you for the great work done on this site.

Thanks again for the great advice here - I was able to get my money refunded for the Allen cabinet! As Erich said above, the knowledge of this community and willingness to help each other is incredible!

Scott, I would have loved to have seen a huge scan of a few areas of the image - it would be good to show other forum members what to look for under a loop. Maybe you can get the seller to forward some extreme close-ups to you (haha).

I had seen this on ebay too and just figured it was a reprint....nice work guys.

I contacted the seller during the auction and told him I thought it was a fake and he responded twice to my responses with seemingly caring emails but obviously to no avail since he let the card sell.

So sad that this seller had multiple people alert him and also got sent a link to this thread and he/she still chose to avoid the truth and make a buck.

Btw, I told him to look at the photo through a loop for dots as if it were a print and not a real photo.... is that the best test?

Thanks.

And too bad.

No feedback has been left on the Kelly cabinet transaction - I have checked a couple of times to see if anything is left on that.

It would be interesting if we see who the buyer is, to see if anyone can contact them to let them know our hunches about the Kelly.
