Thanks! I missed that (obviously) while I focused on color matching. I
took the complete IFC from Ginger #5 and replaced the indicia from the
damaged IFC rather than merge in the missing portion.
Interestingly, there is another version of this ad from the same time
period (Super Duck #51/Ginger #6) that has a different version of the
device.
