Not trying to out the auction - if I felt it was legit to 1909-10 I would be bidding very reasonably, so no one would be getting this cheap. But that 'h' at the end has be concerned...if only the moths had nibbled it off.

The H was present during the 19th century, so someone might have made that mistake back in 09. But the black and gold is anachronistic. Pirates were blue and red back in the day.
