there are some good examples including some early ones that have a few of the characteristics of yours. You may have already checked.

check the detroit letterhead one especially, looks similar

I agree, the more I looked at early cobb sigs. The less concerned I was. Think it's good, and a great unique piece

This is such a great piece. Only one question since the item is framed and we are looking at photos, is there a chance that this could be a photocopy of a letter, especially if Mike authenticated it in the frame without removing it from the frame ? I say this because at times some pieces are authenticated in the frame and not removed from the frame by the authenticator.
I am not trying to be Mister Negative just putting in a question to be sure of this piece.

It's fine

Wow. Cobb was such a prolific writer that I didn't even bother with this thread for a while. But a 1917 letter? Now that's a whole 'nother somethin'.

Awesome piece.

Update. I just Bought piece from C&S Sports and Hobby and comes with 14 day return but item to me looks awesome! Having always wantind a cobb letter but didnt want to go to all the hastle to frame and mat and everything that goes along with it. I am sort of pumped this is one of the oldest cobb letters i have ever seen and signature appears to be a 9/10 to me...not bad for almost being 100 years old. Now working on a reson to justify this to the wife when it shows up next week. (i know should have thought of that first). Think I will tell her its a photocopie and was cheap...haha she might go for it
