Manufactured by Lowell Toy Manufacturing this item has had its header card reproduced. To spot a reproduction you should look for the markings "Manufatured by Lowel..." printed on the rear of the card; this printing runs into the white block letters of "Wig", on the originals it does not; the reproduction header card had the disclaimer on the back which stated that the wig was the original, but the header card was reprinted in 1983; this statement sometimes has been trimmed from the header card; watch for uneven bottom edge, which may indicate that the card was trimmed. A counterfeit issue exists, and is easily detected by the words "Made In China" on the front header card.
