Yeah, looks like a real but generic ad that someone decided to alter to try and connect it to baseball cards.

This item was in a Hunts Auction not too long ago and I also thought it looked funky, so I asked if those words were handwritten. Here's the response from Hunt who was able to see the piece up close....

Peter,



We took a closer look and the words are printed on in a different typeface. They are not hand written.



Thanks,

Every single one of those letters, handwritten, is formed differently. That must have been some machine printing that out. . If those are not handwritten I would still be very surprised.

I agree with the posts above. I certainly think the ad piece, itself, is legit and period, but the tie-in to baseball has been added to enhance the piece.

Yes too, which is like a thousand things we have seen before. You take one and one (in this case a possible alteration) and get three. Seen it a ton of times....

Default the "blank boxes"
might be found on an early mock-up/print ad or proof for a variety of reasons. I've owned such an original item. The real problem are the 4 words and 4 hyphens which were obviously added to deceive as stated earlier.......

no guarantees whether written or implied
