Default T206 Sweet Cap/Hindu/Old Mill Factory 649
Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Joseph Knapp bought up many existing lithograph companies in 1892 and formed the American Lithographic Company (in NYC).
James B. Duke (American Tobacco Company) and Joseph Knapp were very close friends and also business associates. Therefore,
I think we can safely assume that Am. Litho. not only printed the T206's....but, all the Premium cards (Flags, Military men, etc.)
that were inserted in tobacco packs during the early part of the 20th Century.

The American Lithographic Co. was situated in a 13-story building (built in 1895) at 230 Park Ave South in NYC. And, this building
still stands at this site in NYC.
