Default High-Grade T206 Drums?

Posted By: Brian Weisner


Hi Joe,
Drum was a discount Brand of Cigs, selling 20 for 5 cents as opposed to Piedmont or Sweet Cap which were 10 for 5. The Drum Brand was purchased by the ATC in 1907 or 08 and converted from a loose tobacco brand into a discount Cigarette brand, so they probably weren't well known or advertized, and probably produced in low numbers.

be well Brian
