Thankfully, fake makers don't know the history of typography. The typeface they used for "COPYRIGHT 1953" wasn't cut until... 1957

That and the “pewter toy compliments of” look completely out of place.

I like how the pewter Babe (in pitching pose?) appears to have been fastened to the cardboard before whatever the artificial-aging schmutz was sprayed on, so that he's caked with it on the front but behind him is clean. Reminds me of a painting mishap from an old cartoon or something.

He was looking a little pale. Perhaps he went for a spray tan.
