The 68 cards in the 1910 COUPON set are derived from an early press run of the 350 series of the T206 set. All 68 subjects are identical in every respect to their T206 "cousins".
These cards were issued in the Spring/Summer of 1910. Note the similarity in the stylistic design of the backs of these T206 advertisements and this COUPON advertisement.....
T213-1 cards differ from T206's only in that they were on printed thinner cardboard stock. Perhaps, because these cards were not intended to serve as cigarette pack STIFFINERS.
This brand was introduced into the market packaged in cartons containing 100's of cigarettes. These cartons were labelled
"COUPON" Cigarettes .
The
Six Super Prints of the T206 set are shown here with the 1910 COUPON advertisement.
