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:

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.
