Early in 1911, American Lithographic (ALC) started producing their new gold-bordered series of cards with their very colorful and ornate Military Men (T80) cards
being one of their first. Shown here are the Tobacco brands** associated with these cards. Simultaneously, ALC was printing LENOX and UZIT T206's.

Gleaned from an ALC ledger record (dated Feb 1911) is information indicating that ALC was notifying Factory #30 (NYC) that they should insert a T80 card with
a T206 card in LENOX cigarette packs at the Factory......so, each cigarette pack contained a T80 and a T206.

Spring of 1911, T206 production had come to an end. I'm pretty sure that this timeline explains why T206 cards with LENOX and UZIT backs were short-printed.

** Note....The T80 cards were also printed with OLD MILL backs. These OLD MILL T80 cards are extremely rare.

It is still hard for me to tell the brown Lenox from the regular ones. Then again my visual recognition isn't the best with those colors. Thanks to those who have shown the Lenox in this thread...
