[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4404517, member: 84"]I found this at a friend's thrift store just as it came in. It'd obviously been sitting somewhere for a while because it had a layer of dust on it - including a layer on the wire across the back to hang it with! I got excited but when I looked it up there were a lot of them & selling for really cheap prices. Did they make a lot or was it just made for sale/decoration & that's why they're so inexpensive? Mine measures 16 x 25 from the front/inside the matting, but from the back measuring inside the chrome/stainless frame it measures 20 x 29.5 Is there an "original" and is mine one? How can you tell? (It doesn't have a Printed in China (or USA) but there is something in German - I think -near bottom left (see 2nd to last photo) PS - If it is just a poster made for mass selling then I think I'm going to keep it; I think it's a great looking poster & should have been in the Mercedes dealerships of it's time! Thank you! [ATTACH=full]373001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373009[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
