Hello! I'm new here, found the site poking around for info on an Ornate Frame pin I picked up at a recent estate auction. The auction had it tagged as a 1915 Ornate Framed pin from Ramly. Is that correct? What does the PM1 mean? I looked up some Ramly cigarette cards and it does look similar to those. I have it listed and running on eBay right now on a 10 day auction. I'm wondering if I should change my title on the auction to PM1 Ornate Frame. It is a pin of Dick Hoblitzel, the pin is in near perfect condition. Can someone tell me what this pin might actually be worth? I figure it must be worth something, a guy that missed the bidding on it offered me a hundred bucks for it right there. Should I raise my starting bid? I have had it running since last night and no bids yet but there are already 14 watchers since I checked this morning, so it is getting some interest pretty quick. Maybe I have something here better than I thought. I'd sure appreciate any help you folks would give me!

I also bought a bunch of Churchman cigarette cards that I'm going to be listing when I have some time to do a little research on those. Any Churchman info?

Thanks for any info that you might pass on to a novice. Have a great 4th of July. I'll check back later for any responses.
