Anything advertising based with hand type is suspect for me immediately.

I guess, but I'm not sure cranking out 100 of these for the owner to give out would take hours and hours of typing, more like a couple hours if you knew your way around a typewriter. Under this kind of circumstance, of course, no matter how long it took or when it was made, the card would never be regarded as a legitimate issue to be catalogued, etc., but merely a local fantasy promo card.
