Would this be the A&G Dixie pack? I recently picked this up although it was already opened with 10 old Chesterfield cigarettes inside (not the original cigarettes).


Also, minor point, but the stamp with "10" on it is a tax stamp to show taxes were paid for sale of 10 cigarettes, not suggesting the pack is 10 cents. These tax stamps can help date the pack . . . The "Series of 1879" tax stamp was used from 1879 to 1883, the "Series of 1883" tax stamp was used from 1883 to 1893, and so on.
