The variance in BLUE ink of the UZIT backs is very similar to that seen on the PIEDMONT 460/42 backs (many are light blue, while some others are a dark blue).

Does this suggest that the UZIT backs and the PIEDMONT 460/42 backs were printed simultaneously ?

American Litho. records indicate that the UZIT cards were printed and issued at the tail-end of the T206 press runs in the Spring of 1911. And in early 1911,
ATC transferred a part of their PIEDMONT production to the Liggett & Myers plant in Durham, NC (Factory #42).





Hey guys, this is just meant to be a thought-provoking exercise....lest, the usual (contrarian) suspects on this forum accuse me of posting some "wild--a$$" theory.

So, what's your take on this subject ?

Thanks for engaging in a meaningful discussion,
