Not just any old box

"box top measures approx 9" x 12"

pack measures approx 3" x 4 1/2"

got it at a NH antique coop....I left offers 3-4 weekends.

Finally, the guy accepted. I never could have afforded his

"list" price.

my guess is I got it somewhere around 1990-1995....

think it's a 1902 item, before the t-206

era. but it sure looks nice, doesnt it ?

I wanted to open one pack, but i was told it would be

blasphemous to do such a thing.....it made sense, as all I'd

get is old tobacco

oh, well...the pics are great....the box is nondescript, but the

inside is a real gem."

The stamps do have a 1902 date and therefore it is doubtful if there are any cards in them. The box is meant to hold more packs but only 8 came with the purchase.

Brian, I've seen the picture that great 500 pack carton but never have I seen a Piedmont tin like this one, looks just like a carton. Is it "paper"ed or "litho"ed? Also a very nice companion / display piece.
