But because of the shop owner's concern for his customers, Johansson's now the owner of a rare, unopened package of 1910 Piedmont cigarettes. The pack's cellophane wrap still is intact, and the package contents remain hidden from the world."

The pack is 1930's. Cellophane wrap gives it away. I rather trust Alan Hagar than t206museum.com for info.
That same article was in a Beckett when I was a kid. It planted the seed of interest in T206. I'm sad to hear that it was untrue.
