Early Pre-Pro Jos. Schlitz Lager Beer Litho Sign Poster Milwaukee Wis

Measures about 22.5″ x 26.5″. I bought this about a year ago, being advertised as original. At the time it was in an busted up, broken glass frame. I removed the frame and after inspecting, I am skeptical as I do not see any lithographic dots that I would think should be shown. That said, if it is a reproduction, it is likely an older one as it does appear old, as does the cardstock fiber board it is on, maybe something produced I the 1970s. Scuffs and graphic loss are evident. Either way, this is a great-looking piece and would look great reframed. I have attempted to post close-up camera shots using a loop. The last one to sell looks very similar to this one and was sold as an original. I do not feel confident stating it is original, so purchase with the assumption it is an early reproduction. There does not seem to be too many examples, original, or reproduction available online to compare.
