Hi Jon,
My publication indicates that packaging/distribution of AB backs began in June/July 1910. This bit of information came from a March 2001 article by Art Martineau and Doug Allen in VCBC #26 entitled "T206 The First Century." That article states:
"Packaging of [American Beauty] backs began on June 14, 1910, and the distribution began on July 3, 1910."
Not sure where Art and Doug got these dates. You might give Art a shout.
