Hobby history: The discovery and evolution of T213s, 1942-1986

[ValKehl]

But Rick, isn't it pretty much accepted belief these days that the T215 Red Cross cards were ONLY distributed in the Louisiana area? If so, I don't see that it matters as to where these cards were produced.

I agree with Rick regarding the T215 cards.

The T215-1 cards were printed by American Lithographic in New York. Then shipped to the Lorillard plant in Jersey City, NJ (Factory #10) to be inserted in RED CROSS
Cigarette packs.

Founded in 1760, Lorillard is the oldest continuously operating tobacco company in the US. It has marketed its tobacco products through out the USA and Great Britain.
Where these cigarettes were marketed in the 1910-1912 era, I'm not sure that I know.

The large "Louisiana find" some years back could have been due to an original collection which was relocated from some where else in the US.

Love the research.

My vote says T213-1 is a T206.

Hey Schneider

Your my kind of guy. Yes, the 1910 COUPON cards should have been classified as another T206 brand.

This thread is a great example of why I love N54. I didn't know anything about these until this evening. Now I know there are more Scoops Carey and Woodie Thornton cards that I will never have!

In all seriousness, thank you for the thread, research and information.
