OH wow, didn't realize the provenance. I won the cracker jack boxes and the larger poster so I'm excited! Nice to think 'what if?' though....but I did speak to Carol (auctioneer) extensively on the piece and based on her very open and transparent answers to my questions I didn't think it original. Size was the biggest determining factor, the lack of ad back and not seeming to have been scraped/re-backed, as well as the color tones in the blue. Clearer pictures close up would have been ideal to help really determine. Guess we'll never know! Until we see it hit thousands when its put up for auction lol.

It also had the 2 punch holes at the top, but the back was blank so who knows. It being a replica is more than likely than it not.
