@Cdespinosa @pixel FYI, I’m messaging the seller just to see what they say, and will report back. I “love” a good bamboozler.

Chris I’m assuming this is all complete fiction then? (A lot of work put into “aging” that map! Impressed by the yellowed tape)

That’s not Sherry Livingston.
That wasn’t taken with a Polaroid with a flash.
The laminate dimensions are all wrong.
That’s a computer font, not an IBM Selectric Orator type ball.
That’s not my original sketch, which was on a National engineering pad.

@Cdespinosa @pixel Incredible. Yes, it was the computer typewriter font that was the biggest red flag for me. Whole generations don’t know that you’d feed a printed thing into a typewriter to type the custom bit on top of it — and it shows at times like this 😌
