I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification on that. I think of Turkey Red with T3's, but they are also connected to Old Mill and Fez.
So that throws out the journal having any reference to H801-7 or T210, from my understanding. That lands back to H801-7 being packed with cases of Old Mill cigarettes for stores in the regions that distributed those series. From the newspaper article above, we know that an Old Mill representative also handed some out late in 1910 after they were distributed "some time ago." That helps to explain their rarity. One could assume the cases that contained H801-7 also contained T210, that would seem to make sense.
