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:

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.

Thanks Fred!

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.

Hey Chris. I just saw these myself a little over a month ago. I have too many irons in the fire to collect the set, but as soon as I saw that Topps included a nice replica of their long-ago test issue, the Dice Game, I bought one----and love it. The quality is just fine. Chris, I also feel Topps went out of their way to really get the beautiful blue background color, and the color of Mickey's face, JUST RIGHT on the 1952 Topps. I bought one of those, too, and just am thrilled by it as well.

Hope you pull some beauties, bro. Happy collecting.
