Craig - Yes, it's PENN.

Here's the auction description when they sold in 2007:

Two pages of uncut Piedmont Cigarettes paper packs
This cardboard paper was found in a house that was built in 1901. I found it under 3 layers of antique linoleum, on an old heart pine varnished floor. It has some faint residue on the back. This paper comes from the PA Factory no. 240. I looked on the internet to see if I could find anything close to this and I couldn't. This would be a great addition to any antique Tobacciana collection.

I have two pages with 33 sets on each page. Both are uncut and in Excellent condition. One page does have a bend on it, but it doesn't take away from the paper. No tears at all. A little bit of staining, but just from natural paper staining. I am guessing that this cardboard paper is at least from the 1910 era. The measurements of the two pieces are 33 x17
If you have any questions I will try my best to answer them. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

Edit: The auction description says they are "at least from the 1910 era", but as Jamie noted in his post they are Liggett & Myers boxes. This shows that they are 1912 or later, after the break up of the ATC.
