I thought this may be a good place to post this... Through the help of Leon and a few others, I was able to track down the elusive Napoleon cigar pack floating around the National and photograph it. To my knowledge, this is the first time a Napoleon pack has ever been seen. This is undoubtedly correct, as the tax stamp still yields a wonderful "Factory 240, 1st D. PA" overprint on the reverse.
The story of how this pack was discovered is equally amazing. In 2012, a crew was doing renovations on a church in Boston and found this tucked between the walls. Unfortunately it's missing one side, as well as the inner slide, but hey - it's the best we've got. Sandwiched between the top and bottom was a Napoleon backed card. Here is the pack and card that was tucked inside:

Yes - one sold a couple of days ago on eBay. The only 11 left unconfirmed are those in the first post of this thread.

Hi Mike,
Great thread! Have owned 3 Napoleon back T207s. Traded away a George Graham in a trade for an orange border T210 Yantz. Still have a Gabby Street and a Livingston "A." Patrick |
