The first major give away is the 12 cigarette pack as opposed to a 10 cigarette pack. A second problem with the pack is the Liggett & Meyers designation on the bottom of the pack as the American Tobacco Company did not break apart until 1911, making it extremely unlikely a card could make it into an L&M pack although possible. The last problem is the dating of the pack. The tax stamp would be a 1903 with an over print, a 1909, or a 1910 with an overprint. All are missing. Without seeing more of the pack, my guess is that it dates from 1920ish give or take - most likely 1918-19.
