Cool pack. That said, I'm pretty sure the date is off. I don't have all of my notes in front of me (so I'll correct myself later if I'm wrong), but I believe L&M didn't acquire the Piedmont brand until at least 1911.

Went back and looked. It appears that L&M did not acquire the Piedmont brand until February 1912.
Guess the boys over at GAI overlooked that.

The red print on the tax stamp is 1909. No other year listed.
I do believe that they used these stamps in following years however. |

I'm sure glad that I don't own it. I know that I would just have to crack it open and see what's inside. Then, I would regret it ....

I agree, 99.99999999% that there is no T206. But for the 0.00000001% that there could be a Wagner in it, I'll just hold onto it. |

One thing I'm curious of - is it a 10-count pack? It's an interesting box. It looks more like a 12-count to me, but the scans could be misleading. If it was a twelve count, the tax stamp should say "Twelve" across the bottom OR there would a little circle with a "12" inside someone on the box.

Kudos for having more restraint than myself!! If I had a chance to solve that 20+ year mystery, I would have cracked that puppy the second I laid my hands on it!
It is a neat that in the last 20 years we have come sooooo far with the T206 information though. |
