Any Rio Motel veterans here who can tell if this is real? The lettering does look pretty old-school, doesn't it? OTOH... considering the insane prices that used book sellers are charging for the Francis-Scully-Francis coffee table book "Wildwood by the Sea," I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising individual figured he could mint a bunch of bogus Rio ashtrays, periodically offer one up to Wildwood sentimentalists and bank on at least a 1000% profit every time... am I being paranoid?
