Until someone shows me a Drum Cigarette box from the 20th century I'm not buying it...or until someone shows me an ATC Drum Cigarette pack, not a Drummond Tobacco of St.Louis pack like the half of a lid from 1890 that somehow is being associated with the ATC brand of 20 years later.

A Drum pouch in my collection has a 1910 tax stamp on it with no overstamp. So your theory that these were not from the T206 era is hogwash.

At the 2007 National, I had several established cigarette card dealers appraise the pouch in my collection. No names please...but why would they all tell me otherwise??

Sorry for slamming your theory of the T206 cards being boxed and not stuffed in a pouch like Polar Bear and Honest Long Cut cards. But until a 1910 Drum Cigarette box comes from an attic, I'm not believing it.

Heck...look at how the word Drum is written. It's almost identical to the back of the cards.
