Default Fan for a Fan Mathewson--Real or Not??

Posted By: mr. moses

it appears to be a photocopy. Look at the color/clarity-without the proper age "look", back foxing appears applied, handle looks like it's hand cut not uniform as they most often were, BIGGEST warning is that it appears trimmed around edges (was a die-cut if I remember correctly). 2 things of note: David correct about the staples which at the very least suggest possible repair. Other thing is I just want to mention that sometimes things aren't what they seem which goes BOTH WAYS. I always like to feel I'm giving the other guy the benefit of the doubt as we are after all looking at these things from a distance in an artificial surroundings. I DO recall seeing something else "special" in one of their listings a while back. I remember it was something I was suspect about despite their 10,000+ feedbacks.
