if the item is framed and you cannot touch the paper - stay away! unless the owner lets you take a look at the original back

Does look old - the paper for this should be similar to 1930s Wheaties Cereal

Good Luck!

Unfortunately it's halfway across the country for me so I can't touch it.

I bought one at an AH a few years ago and the owner reached out to me later and said he learned it was a fake and he refunded my money. I appreciated it. I forget exactly what he told me but if I remember correctly it was nearly all of these are fakes. Was on heavy cardboard and not light paper.

Was a cool piece. Wish it was real.

From a while back. I really dont like the looks of this one..... maybe artificially aged?? I think I would stay away from these "too good to be true" pieces..... just my opinion.

Addendum.... interesting how the second one I posted has more on the bottom..... wonder why a fake would get matted out or have the bottom missing..... but fakers are clever...... Im still skeptical.... Rocky
