Sweet Caporal cigarette pack (sorry it's already been opened)

Can you see a stamped overprint exact date on the tax stamp? That is part of the way to tell if it could have held a card. I don't think there is any positive way to tell other than pulling a card out of the pack. But the date will tell us if it possibly held one.

I can't really make out the month but I do see: 12, 1911

Then all you have to do is check the factory and dist numbers to see if cards were put out in 1911, from there, and that will answer whether a card could have come in the pack. Most likely the answer is yes, one could have. That also makes the pack a little more valuable. One's without the overprint dates are less valuable.
