How can you tell its a reproduction? There is a definitive diagnostic sequence followed to authenticate repros from originals. Please share it with the rest of us so those of us who one one can tell - we're all eyes and ears!

A repro poster has the tell tale "coffee drips" on it from the original used. Below the squirrel with the nut, right of brown oak leaf. Another left of the orange/yellow maple leaf, also below the squirrel. And last the round mark right of "CONN.," on the bottom of a brown oak leaf. These marks are the easiest to see and define a repro. Others marks exist, but these are the 3 flags to look for. Please reference the repro I have for sale.
