A costume was listed on eBay yesterday, attributed to use by Christopher Reeve in the film, Superman: The Movie. This wardrobe set, which “CAME FROM A HIGH PROFILED COLLECTOR WITH LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY”, has a Berman & Nathans asset tag that resembles those reviewed in a previous article (see Superman Costumes in the Marketplace: Bermans & Nathans Wardrobe Tag Analysis).

Analysis:
This Bermans & Nathans wardrobe tags shares many similarities with the “Alternate” examples shown in the article analyzing these labels. I would recommend reviewing the dedicated article and full analysis:
Below is the full compilation of the “Alternate” examples, including this new one from the “Clark Kent Suit” at top:
This example also has “Christopher” abbreviated “Chris”, which I have not seen on any other examples, and has “Reeve” misspelled “Reeves”.
Again, I would recommend reviewing the article with a detailed analysis of these asset tags.
I did contact the seller to ask for the identity of the company who produced the Letter of Authenticity and have not received a name.
