Original vs Reproduction: What’s the Difference?

Quick Answer: Originals are historic paper artifacts created in their era. Reproductions are modern printings made from historic sources.

Original Items at Adirondack Retro
Originals include vintage magazine advertisements and antique prints. These are authentic period pages produced during their historical time frame.
