Attributions and conjectures:

Although originally attributed to Andre Frodel by Frederick Eaton, research by Kenneth Pugh shows that this item was in fact created by printer Alex MacMaster under the patronage and auspices of Eaton. The handstamp indicating that it was the work of Frodel is a false and intentional misdirection. (Information provided by Kenneth Pugh, November 2015).
