You probably won’t find much info on the other brands. Other than the Sweet Cap cigs, I suspect the other brands were: 1) new, 2) poor sellers or 3) Battle Brands. I say this because after the break up Lorillard obtained “Old Gold”. The “ Old Gold” brand was a Kimball cigarette. The brand was so popular that it was sold overseas and continued to be sold in the 1950s. “ Chesterfield” was a brand sold by Drummond and still exists today. Liggett & Myers obtained the rights of “ Chesterfield” after the break-up. Neither brand to my knowledge had T206s included in their packs and I think the cards were marketing products in order to boost sales.
