Default not positive

I am not positive about the whole issue. I have always thought the wrappers that are on wax paper are good. OF course I stand behind anything I sell, for authenticity, for life. I do find it perplexing concerning the hole in the same place and the slanted format shown above. The printing on my current one is very sharp too, not like you normally see in knock-off items. If the wrapper I own now is a fake then that is one very good scam. It's not like someone was going to make a mint off of these even if they aren't good. The one I sold I am sure wasn't more than $200 as well as it's replacement/upgrade was probably in that range or less. There is always the chance that someone found a way to duplicate these just as the originals were made....maybe a machine from the 1920's producing them more recently? Interesting stuff....
