T206 Red HINDU cards....survey revisited

[tedzan]

The Red HINDU brand of cigarettes were out of Factory #649 (Rochester, NY), circa 1911.




This rare back can be found with T206's from the 350/460 series and the 460-only series.
There are a possible total of 103 Subjects; however, to date there are only 41 confirmed
Red HINDU's. Unless we find some more, I am beginning to think that a fair number of the
remaining 61 Subjects are "No-Prints".

A net54 reader just emailed me with a new Red HINDU input....Doolan (bat)
from the 350/460 series.

This brings the tally up to 43 confirmed cards with Red HINDU backs.

Check-out your T206 collections and let's have some more new inputs.

Thanks,

Hello Ted,
I can add one card to the confirmed T206 Hindu red checklist:
Harry Davis (Davis on front), Phila. Amer.

I will email you a scan of this card and maybe you can post the image on this thread.

Here are a couple of notes on the T206 confirmed Hindu red cards:

The recent REA auction had a T206 Cobb, red portrait with Hindu red back. My records show this is the only example confirmed.

I can confirm all of the cards you listed except:
Chance, yellow portrait (never have seen this one)
Cobb, bat off (never have seen this one either)

Regards,
Art M.

Thanks Art M. for your input on Davis.





With Davis and Doolan reported, we now have 44 cards
confirmed with the Red HINDU back.

I would like to think there are more Red HINDU cards......

A question has been raised regarding the Chance (portrait-yellow) with a Red HINDU back.
I listed this card as it is noted on the Super Set.

Can any Net54er confirm that this Chance card can be found with the Red HINDU back ?

Thanks,


TED Z

Having not heard from any of you regarding the Yellow portrait Chance,
I just may have to scratch it from the confirmed list.

Furthermore, in the recent REA auction, a Red Cobb was touted as the
only known example with a Red HINDU back. Can anyone on this Forum
vouch for the existence of a 2nd Red Cobb with a Red HINDU back ?

I really appreciate your responses,

Guys and gals....I'm still waiting for a 2nd example to surface of the Red Cobb with a Red HINDU back.

Thanks,
