N175 Goodwin and Company Gypsy Queen packs, cartons, cards etc....

[1880nonsports]

not much has changed. I haven't thought much about it since relinquishing my pack. Time to re-visit the subject I suppose as my interest temporarily piqued.

few quick thoughts before I review Jerry's article.
Both cartons might have contained packs that contained inserts.
It makes sense that the one on the left is earlier despite it being more ornate as the "straight cut" verbiage and use of a label not sized for the box on the other suggests a contemporary or later issue. That said - I don't think the one on the right REPLACED the one on the left and expect the one on the left continued to be used. Perhaps the "SC" carton was to address a seperate (and smaller) segment of the market.

Both packs might have contained a card. and the one with a cancel appears within the correct time frame. Not sure about the photo cards but generally sets of the lithographed inserts were inserted all at the same time and all within a small window. I think the N162's would most likely have been in the box on the left. The GQ's - no idea.
