I scanned the backs of my 4 T216's. Still need the T216 VE.
Maybe I can find one at the National this year.
The New Orleans type set is: ( I think this is complete)
T211
T213-1
T213-2
T213-3
T213-3 Overprint
T214
T215-1
T215-2
T215 Pirate
T216 Kotton - 3 different backs
T216 Mino
T216 VE

Hi Rick, good luck with your type set. But the T215 Pirate set has no connection to New Orleans. They were distributed by an English tobacco company in Manilla to American sailors. I don't know why Jefferson Burdick listed them with the same designation as the Red Cross brand.
But if you still want a Pirate, go for it. There's a nice one in REA right now.
