Leon told me that it says "Issued in U.S." on the side of box or something. I heard that pirate packs were issued to the soldiers in World War I or possible World War II. Can't remember. Pirate issued Bird cards in 1916:

The pack has rice paper and not cellophane. Not really sure what year it came from. But can't be prior to 1914. I may be wrong. Jon may be able to provide more info. Dunno about whether or not pirate issued T215 cards in soft packs.
