Picked this up at a flea mkt recently.
The thickness and paper appear right but the name is more black than brown which is a dead giveaway of fakeness and it appears someone trimmed the left side lopsided.
What do I have here? A really old reprint/fake? Something from the 70's?
It is a lot thicker than the Renato (sp) reprints I have so any ideas who spat this one out and when? Sweet Cap 350 back in the correct color.
Thanks

It's definitely a reprint and not a real T206.

No doubt. The black ink gives it away but whoever made it didn't put any type identifier on it as a reprint which leads me to believe it was intended as trickery at one point.
