Hi Bob

The Sweet Caporal 150, Factory 649 (overprint) resulted when ATC spread out their cigarette production to their Rochester (NY)
plant (Factory 649). American Litho. (ALC) selected 35 subjects from their printed stock of Sweet Caporal 150, Factory 30 series
and modified these cards by overprinting the Factory 30 line with a solid red bar. And, added "Factory 649, 1st Dist. N.Y.". Then,
these cards were shipped to Rochester to be inserted into their packs.


The Sweet Caporal 350-460, Factory 42 (overprint) resulted when ATC transferred their cigarette production to the Durham (NC)
plant (Factory 42) in early 1911. ALC had already printed Sweet Caporal 460, Factory 30 (NY) cards for their 350/460 series (55
subjects) when this transfer to Durham occurred. These Sweet Cap 460, Factory 30 cards were NEVER inserted into packs at the
NY plant. Instead, ALC overprinted the Factory 30 line with a red braid, and added "Factory #42, 4th Dist. N.C." to these cards.
Then, these cards were shipped to Durham to be inserted into their packs.

There are a possible 109 cards in this Sweet Cap 460, Factory 42 overstrike group.....which also includes the 48 cards from the
460-only series and the 6 super-prints. I have been collecting this T206 sub-set; and, so far I can confirm 95 cards.

Best regards,
