Thanks Jim...glad you like my collecting stories…That’s a good question…I didn’t bring up the subject…so I can’t say for sure…but based on the sticker price they probably assumed it was original…but probably didn’t know it was c1900…the funky 1980’s metal frame was dirty inside the glass and on the back….so it didn’t seem like they gave it much esteem...I tossed the frame already but here’s a shot I took in the antiques store…
FYI...I posted an addenda on my
website tonight to my Cricket Sign feature...I copied and pasted an email I got from renown advertising tine dealer Nigel Scott in England who shed some new light on the subject...see it at the bottom of the feature...
