I have never seen an original one but doesn't seem right and biggest thing in my mind is that the overall dimensions are off. Even with 1/8" added back to all sides it's still smaller than the dimensions of an original '33 Goudey. It's also hard to tell the material used for the actual image. Just my opinion and I'm sure others who know what they're talking about can chime in here.

Check out the side view.

Not cloth.

But it's not an original plate from 1933. Goudeys were lithographed like so many other cards, and that block is for typography. The surface is etched metal. This one looks like a newer one using copper plated zinc. The old ones were copper surfaced, but a solid sheet, and usually a bit thinner.

So it's probably from some book or small circulation magazine that showed a 33 Lajoie.

Similar to these one from Mccarthy postcards.



Reversed images are for for direct printing - lower production. The ones McCarthy used were for typography to offset. No reversal, higher production since the plates don't get worn as easily.

It almost looks like canvas.

This item isn't even worthy of a thread. It isn't remotely real or realistic. It isn't even nice looking. It resembles a swatch of denim someone run through his computer printer.
