<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 409349, member: 51"]Interesting that the one in the collector's weekly link is also in "pristine condition" and even mentions that they hope it isn't a "repro". Were these tear-off calendars a thing in the late 1800's? This just looks to be in such amazing condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it was mine, I'd ask myself, does the paper feel 120 years old in the hand? I am no expert in these, but I know repros of other antique decorative items like this were popular in the 70s. I guess I'd want to do a bit more research. It's a fantastic image either way. Hope it is the real deal! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
