If you note matches the numbers, it will be FAKE and has No Collector Value. These items have all been produced since the turn of the century. Most produced up to around 1945 were used for advertising on one side and it's easy to tell that it's not real. The Bogus Notes listed below were first produced around 1948 at the end of World War II when Americans started taking vacations and there were even greater numbers made from 1960-1965 for the Civil War Centennial. If you go to any of the National Parks and many State Parks you can still buy examples of these in the gift shops.
While we have listed every piece I've seen or been told about over the past years, new examples surface from time to time. If you run across one, please email me the date and serial number. I would also like an image.
