I've had enough.
5 times in the last year I have found this item being offered as something it is not...totally disgusting, amounting to fraud [and very expensive, bar one].
3 times they have been offered by a top GB seller, long established, and twice by private sellers.
One private seller answered me with many thanks when I told him his £100 item were [almost] worthless cut-outs.....but then proceeded to do NOTHING !
Another did not answer.
Two of the GB dealers answered me with thanks. One did nothing and left the item as it was. When I re-wrote, they did not answer.
The other company, who had it listed at 99p,changed their listing description to read exactly as I told them...and they thanked me in the listing !
This one below, is another. £45 plus a whopping £8 postage for items with an almost zero value.
I am awaiting their reply. Lamonby & Allen are one of the longest-established GB and Commonwealth dealers in the UK. They DO KNOW what these are as did the others.

I have recently seen a number of 1933 Century of Progress labels, mostly in blocks, being sold with a false description. They were modern reprints, good quality but reprints. Some members here may have them as I have.....indeed I have many sets, they cost pennies.
I have written to the sellers and they replied with thanks [again....yawn] but did not change the descriptions. Some suckers went and paid a good price for reproductions !
Here is a listing where BOTH are on view. I am not complaining about this particular listing as I have no idea of the value of some of the items shown. I am showing here purely for comparison. I would not, however, pay the asking price, especially as I knopw that reproductions are included but not stated !
