As you like to say we have discussed this already Ted.
First of we know the Coupon Cigarettes existed as early as 1908
and the quotes seemed to be used on tobacco products frequently back then
Here's a Carolina Brights coupon I have that they used the quotes on
Attachment 459661 Yes, because in 1908 CAROLINA BRIGHTS was a new ATC brand whose TRADEMARK had NOT yet been Registered !
so your case closed evidence that they were printed in 1910 is
A similar back design
48 subjects from the 350 only series
Coupon in quotes
Paper missing on some backs where they were glued to cartons
These things according to you are case closed evidence they were printed in 1910
but the these facts
they're printed on a different stock
Because these cards were not intended to be inserted in Packs as "stiffiners". There are NO packs labelled "COUPON" cigarettes.
the t213 type 1 subjects don't match up with any other t206 back (except Piedmont)
I do not understand what you are stating here, this does NOT make any sense !
the ledger pages from an atc journal covering 35 tobacco brands from 1909-1912 doesn't have Coupon cigarettes in it.
Keep researching, you'll find one that does include the COUPON brand !
you claim that they were glued to cartons and that's what the paper loss on on the back of some of them is from but the carton with paper loss on it that Jeremy has you yourself said is no earlier than 1913.
Totally irrelevant in determining printing date !
so all of these facts are just meh... a coincidence?
it really seems to me that you're
grasping at straws to prove they were printed in 1910.
