Reading the information I would say it is a reproduction. Listed as a new item.

I don't believe it is Chris - my original has the same hook attachment on the rear of the board. Only repops I've seen were cast.

Reading the sellers description, he states that it is original.

$55.00 per key, and the board was free. That doesn't seem too bad if you look at it that way. ;)

This is one of my boards. You will notice the color is not black, but a shade of blue. The one sold seems to be black.

Darrel, I posted to get feedback before I jumped in to bid any higher. It could have been repainted some years ago possibly.

I was interested then my gut said nope, not today as the price climbed.

Other than color, are your thoughts it’s authentic?

I’m trying to learn as I’d like to own one someday

You guys should realize that true color doesn’t always show in pictures. That board is real, just like the one on my wall…except I have a multiple keys !

Everyone,

Thank You, my thoughts it would sell for over $1,400, since I researched that some were selling around $1,200 several years back.

I may find one someday or maybe not, have other items I’m hunting down currently.

My board has from 2 to 5 keys on each hook. Another board I have has two or three on each hook.
