Hey guys,
Now imagine this...... opening a LENOX (or UZIT) cigarette pack in the Spring of 1911 and finding a T206 card and a T80 card in it.... WOW ! !
An ALC ledger sheet (dated Feb 1911) exists instructing ATC employees at Factory #30 to insert both a T206 and a T80 in a LENOX (or UZIT)
cigarette pack.
At the beginning of 1911, American Litho (ALC) launched their Gold-Border series of cards. The T80 cards depicting worldwide Military subjects were one of their 1st issues.
The artwork of the T80's is very distinctive, and their gold borders are quite ornate. ALC concluded their T206 production in the Spring of 1911 with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460
and UZIT cards. The AB 460 and UZIT cards were printed in the same timeframe. Also, the last print run of LENOX cards was (more or less) within that same timeframe.
T80 cards
T80 cards were also printed with OLD MILL backs, which are extremely rare.
