Pennsylvania TedThe back of this unique Ty Cobb card identifies....Factory #33, Dist. 4, NC
Factory #33 is a big mystery; and, is unique in all the T-card backs. And, research into
its whereabouts has been unfruitful.
The 4th District in North Carolina was the home of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco plant....
The last four T-brand issues (ca. 1911) of T206's are identified with this NC plant.
They are......
American Beauty 460 Factory No. 42 4th Dist. NC
Sweet Caporal 460 Factory No. 42 4th Dist. NC
Sweet Caporal 460 Factory No. 42 4th Dist. NC (overprint)
Piedmont 460 Factory No. 42, 4th Dist. NC....(very tough back)
However, although Factory #33 was located in this District of NC, there is no evidence
to link it to this plant.
Speaking about "Factory #42"......this is the 42nd post on this interesting thread.
