$235 for a cigarette pack label??
Posted By: Richard
I have probably set a record on the most spent for a cut out cigarette pack label, but oh what a label it is! Kotton from the People's Tobacco Company is related to T216. |

Unfortunately for whomever bought it they are going to find that this pack is from the 1940's-1950's. I emailed the seller to see if there was an overstamp on the stamp and they said no...but the Tolstoi one that had did have a 1943 overstamp..and had the same look as this one, color-wise. Ones from the 1900's-1915's, which would be from when Kotton Cards were produced were mostly slide shell packs....my snipe was about $60 on this item as it would still go good with a card. My guess is that the gypsy queen pack I sold for $2500 is a record for a cigarette pack price....but I could be wrong....best regards |

I see you bought this Richard...Had this been one from the period my snipe would have probably been about $750......I spent a few hours looking and researching this pack before I decided it, most likely, is much later than the cards issued. I hope I am wrong.... |

Fair enough. It could be from the 30's but I would think that bright ink isn't from the 20's. I have Jon Canfield's book at home and thought it said that this factory/district was putting Kotton out into the 1950's, but very well might be mistaking. I know I checked it, google, and Matt Sears book before I decided not to go too high. Still a very cool pack so congrats. To answer your question I have never seen any packaging that would have potentially had a t216 in it. best regards |

Yes, Matt's is a book he sent to me. It really didn't have much on Kotton but it was all about old packs otherwise. I am pretty sure Jon has only put out one small book and I am sure you and I have the same one. If you looked in it too then maybe I was transposing lines. As you know the graph in the book has lots of info in a very small space so I probably didn't get the lining up of information correct. The Kotton pack you got is very nice whether it's from the 20's or 30's or ...I will check when I get home unless you have the book right at hand... |

Only has the different brands of Peoples, Kotton, Mino, and Virginia Extra....No dates as to when they ceased....I thought I saw Peoples Tobacco going into the 40's or 50's but maybe not....anyway, cool pack.. |
