Tobacco collector's........piedmont advertising piece

[Comiskey]

I watched this piece on ebay and even made a decent bid before it ended. But, I didn't know if it was authentic and decided to not go higher and eventually lost out at $449.My question to you guys (the "professionals") is whether you guys believe that it was real. I am not doubting the seller, I just don't have enough experience to know whether it was real.

So what do you guys think? Is it a period piece? Here are the pics and a link:

I believe that piece is a side panel of a 3 panel spread for Piedmont

I agree with Jay. My snipe didn't quite sneak through (okay, by a fair bit)

Have you seen the rest of the panels? Did it sell previously? I would love to see pictures of the complete advertising piece!

Jeff, just did some searching on the net and I found it.
Its pictured in the Smithsonian book, which I have so that's where I remembered it from.

Here's a link, its on page 49
