Default T207 Distribution Question

I recently bought a lot including two empty Cycle boxes stamped May 23, 1913 and a Cycle back of t207 Roy Miller. They were discovered recently by a guy who was removing insulation in the walls of an old home in New Hampshire.

My question is - is it possible that the t207's were also sold into 1913? It seems like the worker who was working on the house 100 or so years ago could have gotten the card in one of the packs and crumpled it up; FYI the card is in poor shape - and just ditched it all in the walls.

I'm not up on the details on when T207's were distributed but considering the way these were found, and that the packs were stamped 1913 - I thought I'd raise the question.

thanks for any thoughts

EDITED TO ADD: Jon Canfield made a good point in an email to me - these are both 15 count boxes - which did not contain cards. I feel the need to also add that I have no reason to doubt how they were found. Hmmmmm. thanks again.
