Don JRC,
When I asked about the card when the auction first started, this is what the dealer wrote:
Hello, how thick is this piece? and what are the dimensions?
Hello, I have owned this piece for about 14 years. We moved and I have no place that my wife will let me put it up. Its a little larger than an 8 x 10. The frame is newer and only about half an inch thick. I was reluctant to take it apart..although with all the questions I may need to.
It is a very old paper...I am no expert on this stuff...does not look like a reprint. I bought this at an antique dealer in Richmond Va. We were down there doing a show and I was out and about and we found it. I paid $200 back the, I dont know if I got took or if that was a good price. I dont think reprints etc were a factor back in that era. It never crossed my mind at the time. The store focused on tobacco advertising and general store items. I was actually out chasing unopened cigarette packs. We had over 20 unopened Peidmont packs once...long ago...lol.!!!
