Richard,

As Jon mentioned some of the complete candy boxes I've seen (like the Sweet Caporal I posted) don't have any dates on them while others (see Bruces images from his Piedmont box) at least have a reference to the food and drug act of June 30, 1906.

Its hard to put an "exact" date on these but based on how closely they match the Piedmont and Sweet Cap Tobacco boxes of the period, I think its safe to say they were produced around the same time (1909-1912).

The ones I have in my collection were part of a find that started my father and I off in collecting vintage back in the early/mid 1970s. The individual we got them from had saved the candy boxes right along side period tobacco boxes and had used them to store his T205/T206 and E Card collection...
