Question Hi. I have something and I don't know what it is. To start with, it's a 12x15 piece of thick cardboard with possibly publicity art on it. It came to me in a cardboard mailer postmarked with an 8 cent stamp from a place called "Scuffy" in Malden Mass. It is old. The art itself is of Lady and the Tramp. It's under what looks like a thin piece of plastic the size of 8x10. It is glued to the cardboard. The bottom left of the print says Walt Disney Productions. The bottom middle says WALT DISNEY"S first all cartoon feature in cinemascope. Under that it says Lady and the Tramp. In the bottom left is Walt Disneys signature which I do not think is original. There's a beautiful colored Lady and the Tramp in the middle with what looks like pencil drawings all around them of scenes from the movie. It looks like something that was mass produced.
If you could tell me what this is I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Crystal
