Reprints?
 

These are very neat items, but I have never seen any of them before. Can some of the experts weigh in on authenticity? Thanks.

I'm no expert, but look too good to be true and artificially aged.

Fantasy created items and artificially aged; I believe these have been discussed here before

Thanks. I thought they looked to good.

Search this sight and GOOGLE the eBay user name ACOFIND.

ACOFIND, "Fourducks" and "theole stuff", I am pretty sure are the SAME scam artist. I have been trying for over five years to get them kicked off eBay but to no avail. They have ripped people off for MANY thousands of dollars over the years.

Here is what they do. They mix fake/reprint/reproduction/fantasy pieces with authentic pieces in their auctions to fool people. They not only list fake sports items but also advertising and movie window and lobby cards, Shirley Temple glass items, Mason jars and glass butter churns (some of which butter churn experts say were never even made).

They list the items as originals in the title and the copy of the auction BUT give themselves an out in the RULES areas. Also, MOST of their auctions are PRIVATE.

It is funny to look at their Feed Back and see all of the PRIVATE sales on this fake crap but, every once in a while, see a real buyers name when it comes to something like a Christmas building made by some REAL company like Dickens Village (something that they cant fake).

I'm guessing that the six were made from this old 1910 magazine ad.

The seller has 53 items listed for auction. I am not an expert but based on the junk I have seen them list before and what they have now, I would guess that 19 of these items are reproductions.

Repros?
 

Someone could make these on an inkjet printer. I have numerous Tuxedo ads and I would not bid on these.
