Amazing, Just Amazing!
The amount of "stuff" in this thread is just amazing. Thanks to everyone who has posted their incredible items over the past few years in this thread. Because it has gone on for so long, people like me can go back and look at things over and over again. I still enjoy seeing everything and I notice something new that I didn't previously see each time I go through it.
Today, I was at a local antique mall and saw this piece in a frame and it just stated "tobacco advertisement, $10". I snatched it up, 99% knowing it is authentic and definitely not a reproduction. When I got it home, I took out the back off the frame, and found the back side piece of the box hidden behind the front side...bonus!!! It helped confirm that these are authentic and not just aged to look old. After going through this thread again, I saw that on page 6, Leon has the entire display box in tact. I believe that these come from that same display box. I'm sure they are not anywhere as valuable as Leon's entire, intact box, but they are still pretty neat and are desired as a T206 collectable. Pretty excited about my find. I look all the time in antique malls and garage sales, and every once in a while I hit something really neat related to our hobby. I love the hunt. (Sorry, but somehow my back scans are bigger and better than my front scans)
