Default Rhett......et al

Note the annotated "...." on the COUPON lettering of the 1910 card.....the significance of this is, that in the Summer of 1910
when these 68 cards were printed, ATC had a pending Copyright of this newly acquired T-brand in their monopoly. Therefore,
at that point in time (unlike the T213-2 & T213-3 issues), the "COUPON" issue is indeed just another T206 back.

P.S......In response to you last post......the T213-3's that I have are normal T206 thickness and they are narrow cut similar
to the American Beauty cards.
Also, circa 1914-15, production of COUPON cigarettes was transferred to Factory #8 (same factory as the VICTORY brand).
Therefore, some T213-3 cards are found overprinted with "Factory #8" on their backs.
