Trees don’t grow upward like that (at least not that much) The bike isn’t a pre WWI style.

Nice sentiment, but…

What got me to wondering is that trees grow wider, but not taller, (from a preexisting point) in relationship to the ground.
I carved my initials on a tree in 1962, & they’re still at the same height from the ground, now.

All that said, sorry to pee on the parade.

All- As DT points out, it’s a fake, but damned if the sentiment isn’t correct… sigh I should have fact checked this more. My bad…

I’ve seen this before… didn’t know it was a fake. Good back story for a fake.
