Actually the article in not entirely inaccurate. The pack does date to the 1911-17 period (can't be earlier as L&M is printed on the bottom, and that began 1911). Also, that's actually a glassine wrapping, not cellophane, so totally appropriate for the period. However, the pack will not hold a T206... wrong size configuration. Moreover, while I can't see the tax stamp, my guess would be it dates to more 1915 than 1911.
