    From my own online research I think it's original, but would appreciate confirmation. Thanks!

    I don't know how to tell if it's authentic, but it sure looks genuine to me. I really like it, too.

    Moxie is a popular old product and if it's real condition will matter though a rare piece could do well.

    My first impression was "right as rain" and I'll stick with it.
    This is a fairly common tray though still VERY popular because Moxie is sort of a blue chip collectable. Moxie collectors are hard core.

    I don't find any evidence of this being repopped either. Even if they were an experienced eye would see this as authentic.

    There are clues. :cool:

    Condition actually looks pretty good.

    Thanks Skeezix! I'll probably stay away from grading it, as that's out of my realm, but if I WERE to....what would you say? There's a straight line (not a scratch, more like an indentation) from top to bottom, you can see it most clearly through her left ear. Almost like a seam, but it's not a seam....)
