Interesting info! Picked this up recently...thought it was neat. Tried to do a little research on it...looks like Ted Z posted a similar box years ago, but never saw the verdict on it...card added for scale.

The Red print cartons have been around for decades, probably from a find of some type of unused cartons. They have not been tied to the T204 issue, I believe the cartons are a bit small to hold the known Ramly Mentor Co. package which the cards came in. Other Ramly/Mentor issues were in slightly smaller boxes. I have a box of the cartons somewhere I will get them out see what does and does not fit.

I also haven’t seen any advertisements that state Ramly are domestic blend tobacco (or Turkish and domestic blend). Likewise, I haven’t seen the slogan “None Better” used in advertising. Here is a late 1914 ad for Ramly, which is the latest I've found thus far.

Wow

Interesting History

Great Pictures on those

I am amazed at how much there is still to learn and also the diversity of items to see, enjoy, and collect

Great read. I recently saw the attached Ramly box in an auction listing. I assume that it post-dates the ones that contained cards. Anyone familiar with it?

Pure Turkish according to Timayenis.
