It's my understanding that the reproductions show a dot matrix under magnification and that a true litho looks random in texture similar to conte crayon marks. Also, the faint impression of the outline of the stone edge may be visible, though that could depend on the mat. I've made real stone lithos and I've looked at Currier and Ives prints that were dot matrix as described. I believe I now own an original Currier and Ives lithograph and came across this site while researching it.

To distinguish a real Norman Rockwell figurine from a fake, check for the artist's signature or mark, which should be present on authentic pieces. Examine the quality of craftsmanship, as genuine figurines typically exhibit fine detailing and smooth finishes. Additionally, research the specific series or edition, as fakes might lack the correct identifying information or come in incorrect packaging. Lastly, consider consulting an expert or appraiser for a more definitive evaluation.
