I've got an early DK marquee (no copyright info) and the painting process creates a two-tone effect on the stripes and on also DK himself. For example, where the red and orange overlap, you get a darker red, so the red stripes get a two-tone effect (a thin dark red line and a thicker lighter red line). There is a similar thing going on with the browns in DK. I don't have a later version of an original DK marquee to compare mine to so I don't know if this two-tone effect is unique to the early marqees only, or if all of the orginal DK Marquess had this effect.
On the repros I've seen, this effect is lost in the painting process. All the colors look solid.
So, my question is . . . does anyone have a late model DK where they know for sure that the marqee is orignal? If so, does your orignial marqee have the two-tone effect or not?
I'm basically trying to find out if there's a way to tell original marqees from the repros.
