Is this day-date original?

Is it original, and if yes what would be the estimated age?

It's a NYC Chinatown special - probably from the 1980s. No it isn't genuine.

I'm stunned it lasted long enough to get that worn and dirty.

Yes, its original. An original pile of steaming fake garbage. Please destroy it with a hammer and put it out of its misery.

Crazy that a knock-off can last for 30 years of obvious wear and tear.
