<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 290274, member: 54"]If it were mine I’d take it to an honest antique paper restorer and ask them, they should be able to tell immediately without charge. Meanwhile take a magnifier and see whether there’s a dot pattern in the colored areas. I honestly don’t whether dots would be definitive for a 1910 piece, but I seem to recall someone saying that a poster of this age would have been lithographed with a cut stone, no dots. Get some advice on whether even an original poster like this is “worth restoring.” Since it has been cut down it’d probably have little collector value, so what would restoring it do for you?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope some poster ex-spurt will show up, I dunno much about ‘em.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
