Default "TY COBB" and "COUPON" tobacco brands

[linked image][linked image]
........... Factory 33 - 4th Dist. of N.C. ............


Factory #33 was located in Reidsville, North Carolina (F. R. Penn Tobacco Co.)



And, since some of us on this forum strongly feel that this Ty Cobb card should be classified as a T206, then it follows that the 68 cards
in the 1910 COUPON (T213-1) set should also be classified as T206's. The cards associated with both of these Tobacco brands fall under
the T206 rubric.

Note the quotation marks surrounding both the TY COBB and the COUPON brands. This is indicates that these two brands were brand new
American Tobacco Co. products in the Spring of 1910 and that their Trademark's were pending.

Some here will agree with these opinions, and others will differ.....and, that's fine.
