The balls shown on that advertisement all date to the 1880-90s...I'm not an expert on old paper, but I'd be wary of it.  If you have any shows in your area I'd take it and show it around.  A few years ago a flea marketeer showed up at our local and everything in his booth was fake..lots of Civil War stuff, slave badges, etc...then I started seeing the same ad showing up in our local antique malls.
