The front pages of ours look identical Mine also looks very vintage. Mine had at one time a sticker on the front page top right corner over the "The Weather" box. Mine has the exact same little puncture marks on the bottom of the front page as yours. What are the odds that one is a vintage reproduction and the other that is identical isnt. I will take a close up photo like you did of the top of page 11...they are identical in spots where ink is missing from the letters. Yours is a good reproduction just like mine is. I bought it on ebay several years ago. Im guessing some just took out the middle ad page for the service from yours.

Ive been collecting 1919 White Sox and Reds stuff for about 30 years now and have many authentic newspapers, this is a good reproduction but none the less a reproduction.

Notice the yellowing around the edges of mine and the paper loss in the very middle of the center fold. All very convincing and remember it is probably printed in the early 90s and papers over 10 years old will get brittle and fade.
