It looks questionable to me, to say the least. Thee are several problems, too many to list. I do not understand why anyone would pay this much for it.

The obvious points that stand out are that the Seigel copy has a period between "states" and "8" AND a dash between "Hawaiian" and "5." Both are missing from the Anthony's copy.

Spiro Bros. Forgery.
Especially note that "Hawaiian" is spelled "Hawaniian"

I just sent an email to all the "officers" of the ASDA about Anthony's and how they are embarrassing them every day.

I included the ebay link above and a screenshot of a search for them on SCF

Wonder who will actually respond?

It will be interesting to see if the ASDA even acknowledges contact.

I've heard from 2 of the 8 or so I included in the email.

Not going to mention any names yet but they are looking into and working on it.
