Also, it retains the hole at the top for where the original sign would have hung. If this was a real countertop display, why even have a hole at top? It serves no purpose.

If you look closely at the Cracker jack advertising poster that REA sold last year, you can tell that it's the same image. All of the flaws match up exactly. This was clearly reproduced from the REA poster at some point in time.

Default no doubt
It is a color copy of the REA one. Check out Wagner's name on front. They both have a stain in the same place. Ouch.

well at least we know what the buyer did with his copy! I can only assume the REA one was real!

Someone got what looks like a nice 3700.00 repro. Great to be either a moron, or be able to spend money like its going out of style.

Default not this time
I was contacted by a friend of the buyer of this sign, on ebay, earlier yesterday. No one is going to get burned this time as I told him it was a fake, but they very well might next time. The ebay seller should have his hand slapped (at least)....regards

Great to hear! Is it possible the seller had no clue as it looks like they had a wide variety of antiques. I wonder if the "maker" pawned it off to a less than educated but "well rounded" antique dealer. Either way, happy the buyer will learn a lesson the easy way.

Perhaps the "Made in Ohio" on the back should have been a dead giveaway...
