Tobacco carton labels

[Leon]

They are interesting but I am not sure any which have some relation coincide with our cards, as far as when produced. That said I am unfamiliar with those so could be mistaking. I know the packs a little better.

About 4-6'ish stand out as recognizable brands and hopefully they pan out as the real McCoys....very cool for sure.

I got unopened packs with cards still in them from his collection he had unopened packs going back to the 1870s.

The ones for sure is cross cut. High grade. Between the acts non sports these have 10 cent stamps and may the Omar, Hassan, Murad, Egyptian luxury the others are after the fact but cool. . I screwed up and missed the Allen & Ginter Dixie unopened pack.

Had these also related to cards I bought most of his museum items.

Would this be the A&G Dixie pack? I recently picked this up although it was already opened with 10 old Chesterfield cigarettes inside (not the original cigarettes).

Also, minor point, but the stamp with "10" on it is a tax stamp to show taxes were paid for sale of 10 cigarettes, not suggesting the pack is 10 cents. These tax stamps can help date the pack . . . The "Series of 1879" tax stamp was used from 1879 to 1883, the "Series of 1883" tax stamp was used from 1883 to 1893, and so on.

Then I'd recommend you call an auctionhouse about putting some lots together.
