Wagner Cigar Box Insert on ebay

The story on this is item is as follows. A few years ago, a man who created reprint signs, created a sign (tin I think) based on the Wagner tobacco label. The sign was not an exact reprint, as he changed some of the text and the font was not an exact duplicate. A couple of years, a person in or near Ohio made laserprint reprints of the reprinted signs, making them appear like some sort of trade card and sold them at flea markets.

Even he man who made the reprint signs even said these cards were fakes, because they duplicated his own unique font and text embeslishments.
