Of course, it's the wrong year and wrong factory whichever factory it's from. If it is, the paper label factory change is interesting.
The point was that I think the brand would probably have used a pack that was the same except for the factory number.
Although, when did they become part of ATC? The tax stamp appears to be their own. And I can't recall seeing an ATC brand without an ATC cancel on the stamp.
The factory change on the tax stamp probably wouldn't have bothered the federal tax people. The accounting was done once the stamp was cancelled, and the biggest thing was collecting the tax.
