Hello Jon, I echo Jay's question and then some. Is that a full pack, just outer shell, an image you happened across, etc.? Is there any mention of ATC on the pack? Tax stamp?, overprint? Thanks for sharing.

Jay, some amazing Buchner pieces, did they all come together or did you piece them together one by one. Amazing either way.

Joe-

I believe Jim Shaw shared the photo with me years ago. I can't recall where the pack came from, but I believe it was complete, albeit empty. I also have a lower quality scan of a flattened pack - no idea where I got this scan, but unfortunately it doesn't yield any additional info.

New old stock Old Gold Cigarettes

While we're on the topic of early cigarette packs, below are the only 2 known Kalamazoo Bats packages that I'm aware of. Both are identical in size and would fit a card, so my best guess is that these were used for distribution. Note some of the subtle differences in the font used for "The Best Cigar in the World".

Simply wow Jon. Thanks for the historical context and preservation.

Joe-Thanks! The small Buchner pieces all came from one source. The clocks came from two other sources.

Jay-

Any idea what the base ball pipe referenced on the back of coupon looked like?

Jon-I have never seen the pipe. The more fragile items, like the pipe, probably did not survive the ravages of time.
