How can you tell if this is an original or reproduction?
I believe its original, but would like input.
Thanks, John

John, the photo images you posted ar4e rather small and out of focus. Larger and clearer photos would be helpful.

Note that the image file sizes you posted are only 78Kb and 107Kb. 356Talk will accept images up to 1 megabyte.

Thanks,

Barry, thanks.
I am hoping someone will tell me to take a particular pic that would prove original/repro.
John

John,

I agree with Barry. It's sometimes hard to tell good FAKES from original factory brochures just from photographs. However, there are some things to look for. The first is a slight yellowing around the edges of otherwise white pages. This yellowing is due to aging, and is a good sign that the item may be old and original. If you have one you know is original, comparing the staples, if any, in the brochure may be telling. Also, many FAKES are marked as such. See more about known literature FAKES and how to tell them at this website:
