American Lithographic ran thru final press runs of SWEET CAPORAL 460 (Factory #30) cards from the 350/460 series (of which your unique Ames is in). However,
the 57 subjects in this series were never issued with Factory #30 backs.
Circa late 1910 (or early 1911), in anticipation of the ATC divestiture, these SWEET CAP cards were overprinted with Factory #42 (Durham, NC) and shipped there
to be inserted in SWEET CAP cigarette packs.
Here is a Factory #42 overprint which is sufficiently off-set that it reveals the original Factory #30 lettering.
