I had two of these Omaha ones (Both Doran) about 2 years ago or so, back when they were widely sold as real by major dealers and before they came under such scrutiny. When I was putting one in a holder I accidently nicked the corner a bit and a piece of the top photo layer of paper came off. I was really surprised that the paper was very bright in color, not sepia, and had that hairy look of frayed modern paper and did not look consistant with paper that should have been 100 or even 50 years old. I am not a photo expert but have handled thousands and thousands of antique paper items and photos and this scared me enough that I wont go anywhere near these things anymore.

The one on ebay now is interesting in that it is mounted to a cream colored mount. Usually these are found unmounted on thicker paper stock photo paper.
