Hi all,

I received this piece today, and from the initial glance it just did not look period. I truthfully have no clue really as to what to look for, but I dunno, it just does not look 70 years old.

It looks as though someone cut it from a magazine and applied it to a backing. The actual advertisement, if you will, is made of thin paper stock, thiner than a baseball card. Is that supposed to be?

Perhaps I am missing out on a real treasure, but, unless someone clues me in otherwise over the next 12 hours I will be sending it back to the gentleman.

Again, I feel he meant no harm as it was purchased for $15 at a flea market 15-20 years ago he said.

It appears to have a semi gloss finish and there are no multi-color dot patterns found. Just not sure, but will listen to your thoughts.

regards,
chris
