Maybe just for fun, I'll create an AP feed dated December 25, 0000 Jerusalem... reporting on the birth of Christ!Mike

    Mike,
    
    Most likely the vast majority are fakes, produced in just the
      manner you describe.  Most of us have some old, crusty paper rolls
      and dried out ribbons available, if we were so inclined...

      I've been curious as to the authenticity of those
        UPI/AP printouts of events like JFK assination, Apollo 11
        landing, etc.
      
      
      I mean... I could type something like that out on
        my 28 with the canary paper, maybe some worn out faded ribbon,
        and it would probably look pretty original.

      That was way before my time but I was working part-time at the
      local 
      radio station when the Feb. 20 1971 EBS false alarm was sent.   By
      the 
      time I got in for my Saturday afternoon shift the excitement was
      all 
      over, but I had all those teletype printouts from the AP wire and
      the 
      opened EBS packet because I read through them between records.   
      Now I 
      wish I'd hung onto them!
      
      For those who may not remember, I'll paste part of the wikipedia
      summary 
      of the event below.
      
      73, Bob W9RAN
      
      A properly authenticated Emergency Action Notification was
      incorrectly 
      sent to United States broadcast stations at 9:33 a.m. Eastern
      Standard 
      Time on February 20, 1971.   At the usual time a weekly EAN test
      was 
      performed, teletype operator W.S. Eberhart had three tapes in
      front of 
      him: a test tape, and two tapes indicating a real emergency,
      instructing 
      the use of EAN Message #1, and #2, respectively. He inadvertently
      used 
      the wrong tape, which used an incorrect codeword, "HATEFULNESS".
      The 
      message ordered stations to cease regular programming immediately,
      and 
      begin an Emergency Action Notification using Message #1.   Message
      1 
      stated that regular programming had been interrupted at the
      request of 
      the United States government, but was not specific about the
      cause. A 
      cancellation message was sent at 9:59 a.m. EST, but it used the
      same 
      codeword as the original message.   A cancellation message with
      the 
      correct codeword was not sent until 10:13 a.m. EST. After 40
      minutes and 
      six incorrect or improperly formatted cancellation messages, the 
      accidental activation was officially terminated.
