Hi Everyone,
I wanted to bump this thread to see what people think about this. I just received this piece in the mail. It arrived damaged and a few of the pieces had detached from the black card stock. That is frustrating enough, but I am also wondering if it is authentic.
I understand these ads used thin paper for the postcard images instead of thicker stock normally used for postcards. My biggest concern is that I checked the back of the Gibbons under a black light and it illuminated. These particular cards were sold in the 1920s, but these prints must have been produced long after the mid 1920s. Is there any way this could still be authentic? I don't know why they would be using 1920s postcard images in ads 20+ years later, but wanted to hear the thoughts on the group.
Thanks for the help!
Chris
