I went through my old emails and see that the the ID number on the Jell-O poster is "next to the bottom left corner of the Mantle photo." So I suppose that puts it near the center.

In looking through some auctions I think that�s correct. It looks like it�s just off to the side of the photo. I looked at mine and the spot where it would be has been cut off. Yours may be under the mat.

Chris:

I am the fellow who told Mike about the numbers on the Jello Mantle display piece. I won one from Heritage and asked if the numbers were there . It had been framed so they could not see it. They promised if I won it they would take it out of the frame to check. When they did it was not there so I did not buy it.

You can see the location ( although very small now) in this REA listing when you enlarge the photo by clicking it a few times to see the largest blow up:

https://robertedwardauctions.com/auc.../#&gid=1&pid=1

It used to be able to be magnified more than you can now.

But if you look under the "G" in Gelatin you will see what I recall says "Litho Made in USA" or something close to that. Then under the "T" in Dessert close to the photo you can see the small numbers Post/Jello put on all their display items. But as I say the numbers are too small to see now.

These should be on any original Jello Mantle display piece. This should help you IDing the one you have.

Here is a "new" 1/1 of Mick!

It is about 14" or 15" tall

Picked this up because I am sure someone will want this cool piece of folk art that is looking for a new home.

Nice gets, David.

That Foes card was high on my list when I joined this site back in 2016.
Really surprised they don't go for a lot more, but that's me.
