Ted - sent you an email answering your questions. However, also wanted to add some here, too. In terms of dating, I comfortably believe this pack dates to the 1885-1890 time frame. After 1890, Duke acquired Goodwin. Also, the factory and district numbers are not printed on the box, itself. I have never seen an OJ with the factory/district on the box, but rather it appears on the tax stamp. Also, as per Joe's comment, I believe the pack was used in the export trade as well. Interestingly enough, however, Ted informed me that he has purchased quantities of N162s out of England. (Correct me if I'm wrong Ted). Of course, even with that said, I couldn't speculate as to whether this once held a card - especially without the tax stamp (assuming US distribution).
