I found this over a decade ago at a flea market in Berkeley not far from the campus, it is very crudely made but does have an official looking US Government stamp applied to the back-I\'m not an expert on these things at all so I am selling it \"AS IS\", but it certainly looks right to me, regardless, it\'s a great item for display! Great vintage display item in superb condition- How many of these survived? Postage information is listed at the bottom-$ 5.75 postage is required.
