There is a very rare original sign just like that, but it has been reprinted/forged many times. So the majority of these Cobbs on the market are reprints. |

Max, I'm pretty sure I have seen one in an Oregon Trails auction catalog from the 1990s...I was also surprised to see it in a legit auction because I too thought they were all fake. |

There was an authentic one of these in the famous Halper Auction. At least I hope it was authentic, based on what the winning bidder paid, and the fact that it was sold by Sotheby's. |

Did more homework on this... For those of you who can access the Halper Sale Catalogue, this piece was Lot # 2208. It realized a whopping $19,950. |

Rule #1 when walking through an antique shop - Always look up. I can't tell you how many times I have found great things sitting on top of show cases or high on the wall. |

I have a flea market vendor friend that keeps his eye open for stuff he knows he can sell me. He showed this to me Saturday morning and I wanted to make sure I wasn't letting a 4 figure piece slip through my grasp. |

1800s sport and non sport color ad signs and posters were handmade prints, meaning there will be no multi color half tone dot pattern. Even under high magnification they will resemble color sketches or watercolor paintings. Thus, the 1800s signs, especially when the design are already known to exist (no chance of being a fantasy), are simpler to authenticate than modern ones. Reprints of famous 1800s signs and posters are easy to identify as they invariably have the multi color halftone pattern. |
