Default Babe Ruth 1930's Advertisement Help

If that's the scan that was sent, I doubt two of the big auction houses would say it appears authentic.

The reprint tin sign is 16x12, and almost all of these reprint signs (Ted Williams Moxie, Joe Jackson, etc) are about 16x12. It appears as if 16x12 is the magic number. And notice the Hunt's Ruth Red Rock sign was not 16x12. I do not know, but I'll wager that none of the original Ruth Red Rocks were 16x12.

The reprint tin signs have little holes in each of the corners, which would be hidden by a wooden frame.
