Can anyone identify and date this piece? It's 8x10. Thanks! -Frank

Someone that owned it before asked the same question in 2014 and no one responded. Did you blacklight it to make sure it's a period piece? Hope you find something out.

I don't own a blacklight but it looks, feels, smells good...obviously, that doesn't mean it definitely is from the 20's or 30's but it passes my personal 'eye test'.

Found this article that has the picture in it. Not sure if these were handed out at this event or if this is "the one" and it was displayed for the event. Give some history of the photo though.

I would invest the $15 in a personal blacklight it does come in handy. If I come across anything on this I'll let you know but hopefully there is some more info on it out there some where. Good luck.

If that's all it costs, I will get one. Thanks for the help, I really want to know what this thing is!

Based on the markings and the folds in the premium, I would say that is definitely the same one I now have. Thanks!

Bump.. posted this two years ago and I still can't find any information regarding this piece. I have a better camera now so if anyone would want different views or closer views of it, let me know! Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!

It does appear to be some sort of premium or whatever. What you want to do is have someone look at it to determine that it is indeed vintage. From the first images it does look period, but you'd want someone to look at it.
There are quite a few rare and mysterious antique premiums and supplements, and new ones pop up from time to time.

Thanks! Any ideas on where to take it?
Researching cards and vintage memorabilia is probably my favorite part of the hobby but I just unfortunately hit a brick wall on this one.
