[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 289160, member: 147"]Thank you for all the information :) I was considering donating it to an auction to benefit our Antique Dealers Association. We hold an auction to help fund a scholarship fund and a cultural enrichment fund. I wanted to check if it is something special before donating it. Looking at the links to the same print I am seeing differences... - My balloon is orange red, the others are brown - The border on the far left on mine is gray blue, on the others green - Mine and the ukiyo-e.org link have little curves cut into the 4 corners, the hiroshima.org link has straight 45 degree angle corners - On the balloon, the panel to the left of the red area with writing has a green background with tan shapes, the other two have a tan background with green shapes I know colors can look different depending on how the shot is taken and variations in the print from age and wear. I also know the colors could change each time the piece is printed. But the corners make me wonder. I did some googling and found a site I can email photos to, hopefully they can tell me if it may worth pursuing. I will let you know what they say. [ATTACH=full]93420[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
