Just had a reply.He is of the opinion that it is something that someone made.He does not think that Holiday Inns would have released something without all the proper information.But I guess if a person had one of these and used it everyday and washed it accordingly.I believe most of that paint and decals would be all wore off anyway.The image of Mantles is under glass in both the front and back.So they are all still in great condition.Just no identification type markings.Thanks again for all your help.

Awesome, glad to hear he is of the impression that it is a home made piece of sorts rather than a forgery. It's a cool item.
