Also box & tax stamp is for cigars, not cigarettes.

A Helmar box that doesn't have any date on it which he claims is a T332 box.<br />3. An Richmond Straight Cut box from Liggett & Myers without any claims.

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>I'll certainly take you up on the help.<br />Many thanks.<br />Since the Monster is nearly slain, i have found myself making some displays<br />of key 206 cards and 206 era boxes. Thus far, I've been very fortunate to get the majority of my boxes from folks on N54.<br />My favorite is the AB with all the cigarettes and graded a 9.<br />I also have a sweet cap,a piedmont,an epdg----and a Mecca,2 Recruits(one on the way),a Pirate. The non206,but near the 206 era,are displayed with their representative cards which i do not collect but enjoy with the packs.<br /><br />all the best,<br />barry

Posted By: <b>1880nonsports</b><p>that your American Beauty box is sweet - but not T206 period. It's the closest I've seen - displays beautifully - and I have one in my collection as well.....

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>you're right; it's a bit before the true 206 era and it is a beaut!<br />i like your word better; it is sweet!<br />I've found myself using 206 'ERA' a wee bit loosely and being ok with it.<br />It gives me the opportunity to put the 1912 Pirate pack on display and the<br />sweet '05 AB as well. <br />The others i have are safely within the 09-11 period.<br />Do you think we'll ever get to see a true 206 era AB pack?<br />Many thanks for your help.<br />I very much appreciate this new area of research and the community of pack scholars i'm getting to know.<br />all the best,<br />barry
