This Sweet Caporal pack is quite interesting, as it is labelled "American Tobacco Company....Successors". And, advertises
VIRGINIA mild tobacco

Now, the Sweet Caporal 460 Factory 42 NC (overprint) T206's are actually SC 460 Fac. 30 VA cards initially printed by the
American Lithograhic Co. and intended for such distribution. However, I think due to ATC's divesture in 1911,, ALC overprin-
ted the 55 - T206's in the 350/460 Series with the "Factory 42 NC" Overprint and inserted them in 1911 packs.

This could be a legitimate 1911 T206 pack. More research is needed before we dismiss this Sweet Cap. pack.
