Default Sweet Caporal Unopened Pack on eBay

Posted By: Richard Dwyer

The tip-off being the tax stamp. "Class A-10 Cigarettes". A "Dewitt-Clinton tax stamp would be a better bet. Notice how he doesn't show the factory number, state & district? For good reason, no doubt. Way overpriced for a box that never contained anything but the cigarettes.

Now this one is legit:

I emailed the seller, and he gave me the following info:

Factory 42, 4th. District, N.C. Overprinting is Factory 42, 4th. District, June 12th. 1911

This one most likely did contain a T206 or T205.
