I have seen only pictures of it close up and I would bet it is a "fantasy " item. It just does not look "quality" enough or of the period as far as design and paint.Advertising signs of that period(1890's-1910) are pretty fancy and very well done and this one just does not look like it from the pictures I have seen. I could do better on my own and I am not that great at lettering.I would never believe that Parker Brothers would allow something so ordinary and unattractive to advertise their best gun.
