The piece is printed on a thin sheet of paper, akin to the thickness of a cigar label. I can't imagine there's enough paper for it to have been re-backed, and for what purpose? To turn a $25 item into a $50 item? Is it possible for it to have been originally blank backed, and then to have the glass blowers ad added to it later? I dunno. I'm going with Barry's initial assessment that the thing's not worth much, doctored or not. And by the way, the guy's asking price is $250 less 15%; I've concluded to save my $$ (perhaps) for a tasty Brockelman & Luckey offering. Thanks guys!
