Unfortunately, it appears that my jest has obfuscated Tom's original VERY 
pertinent information regarding the authenticity of this piece.  In his 
original post he raises the points:

1) "no song by the title of 'Ora Nelle Blues' was ever even issued by Chance 
Records"

2) "not sure if this even is a 'master stamper,' since most of the time the 
process was a four-step one"

and the less egrigious:

3) "obviously the attached photo of LW is from the wrong era"

Sorry to have focused the debate on the wrong thing.  Anyone have any thoughts 
on the *real* issues?
