tobacco card packaging...

[Leon]

We talk a lot about tobacco cards so a thread about the packaging they came in seems relevant. It's always fun to see some of the packs, boxes and associated items. I haven't added much tobacciana to the collection lately so it will be some previously seen items, on my part...

[ullmandds]

wow...those are sweet!!!!! Never seen either of those b4...cool! I'm guessing those are pretty tough to find?

[RCMcKenzie]

Drum and Carolina Brights packs must be hard to find. I have not seen those before either, but I have not really followed the packs.


Do y'all know if this information is correct about T213 distribution...

I thought I remember Ted Z. posting about T213's being distributed in large cartons. Maybe both methods were used or maybe I have misremembered again. Thanks.

Rob - I think Ted meant that Coupon packs were distributed in large cartons like this one : Pic 1 is picture of Top - Pic 2 is picture of the side and pic 3 is a picture of the end of the carton.

Pardon me for this modification, ole buddy. It's my opinion that the 1910 "COUPON" cigarettes were never in the standard ATC cigarette packs.
They were distributed in cartons of 500 - 1000 loose cigarettes (tightly packed). These cartons can be identified by the label.... "COUPON" Cigarettes.

As, I'm sure you know, the carton you have displayed is for the T213-2, or T213-3 issues (circa 1914-1919)....as the "Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co." label implies.


Here is a similar carton............


Scott B.......thanks for this RAMLY carton.

Ted - Interesting theory. I'll bite. What makes you think they were packed in cartons instead of packs ? JJ

[T3s]

You buy the cigarettes, collect the coupons, mail them in with your choice of player (Matty!) and sooner or later an envelope from Jersey City arrives with your prize.

[T3s]

Fez cigarettes will get you a T3 too, you just need to smoke more!!

[canjond]

Another incredibly tough one....

When are you going to sell me those?

Here are a few mid-level toughies, though not in the same league with Leon's or Jon's

[piedmont150]

Love the Drum and Carolina Brights packs!! Never seen either one! I only have the easy ones, Sweet Caporal and Piedmont. The pride of my tobacco collection though are my Hindu and Old Mill ads including an entire New Orleans Daily Picayune newspaper with a huge Hindu ad. Thanks for sharing the pack pics everyone.

[Leon]

Most packaging is much scarcer than their associated cards as the packaging would have been discarded after use. Yes, the first 2 shown are quite scarce, as well as many others in this thread. These are the only 2 of these I have seen so far..T216

Great items everyone..
