1913 Joe Jackson cabinet

[Leon]

I am guessing it is more close to a 2013 mfg date than 1913. thoughts.....?

The seller seems to have one aspect of his description correct - the photo is actually of Jackson, which is more than what many Jackson photo sellers get right. ;)
What I initially thought was silvering now looks like a blue-ish reflection from either fluorescent ceiling lights or daylight coming through skylights.
The word cabinet refers to a mounted piece, not the actual photo. I'm not sure why they included the word cabinet.
The main reason why I believe that this may have been produced after 1913 is because the image seems to be quite washed out and lacking clarity. This happens when a photo is taken of a photo...and then another photo is taken of that photo. This isn't an image from the original negative.

Especially since the fake inscription on it steals a line from Tony Montana!

that semi-reflective area doesn't look like silvering to me - perhaps a somewhat washed-out gloss. Also to me it just doesn't look like a 1913 photograph.

no guarantees whether written or implied..........

Why does he mention the 1914 Cracker Jack being worth thousands? It has nothing to do with the "old" photo.
