[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4571030, member: 84"]I bought this old(?) theatre poster from my friend who is the owner of a local thrift store/2nd hand store. I am wondering if it might be real? It has some marks on lower right side (see photo) that runs along the edge of the matting that I'm curious if it'd be on a copy/poster? I found one on Abe's Books that measures 31.6" x 23" and mine measures 31.5" x 22.5"(visible art) Is there anything I can check to find out if mine is a real antique or just a copy? I also found this mid century(?) nude statue with an unusual 'mottled' gold color that reminds me of a Marilyn Monroe pose in the calender shoot she did! It's initialed MP on bottom What is it made of? Plaster? Ceramic? Any thoughts would be appreciated - going to try to put it on eBay tonight! Thanks for any help!
