Default Counterfeit Kendig Caramel Cards?

Posted By: leon

Thanks for the scan to show exactly what you are saying.....with that being said there is a good chance the card could be real but the stamp on back be a later version so an unscrupulous person could have financial gain......I had a 20 minute conversation with a very well known expert today (who I will not mention publicly because of his not knowing I am talking about this) and he agrees that this card looks too "even" in the toning dept.....and too, there is no explanation for the fact that the bottom of the card says "Kendig Chocolate Co." which was gone for at least 14 years when this card was issued.....if issued in 1916??.....and the seller says it is an E121/E122 type which dates it even later....too many inconsistancies.....regards all....
