It is a marvelous and legitimate piece, and can best be thought of as period folk art.

I hate to get into semantics but I didn't necessarily imply that by it being a "fantasy" piece that it was meant to deceive. I do agree that it was homemade at the time by a fan and a great piece. I know that often the implication of fantasy has a negative connotation and could be meant to deceive, but in this case I thought the fantasy declaration only reinforced the homemade or one off nature of the piece. My question to clarify for fantasy designation would be how long after the event would the creation have to take place in order to classify it as fantasy? Five years? Or is it all based on intent?
