Does anyone know the history of these? Were they issued in the glassine envelopes within a cig pack? ...or mail-aways?

They seem to almost always be mis-cut or have small bits of one or more corners missing. I have three along with the envelopes they were supposedly issued with. One envelope matches Mr. Lemke's catalog description, but another has no design and only one line of print "Factory No. 30,2nd Dist.,N.Y.". The other has no design, but has two print lines: "S. ANARCYROS,N.Y." and "Factory No. 7,3rd Dist.,N.Y."
