"Here is a display and list of the Tobacco brands awarded to L & M.....post ATC break up in 1911.
No Ty Cobb brand here....
but, then we shouldn't be surprised; as, I am convinced the Ty Cobb brand was sort of a "novelty"
item and was produced circa....post-1911."


I could say the exact same thing except change the last part of the last sentence and the logic is eqully as strong.

"....but, then we shouldn't be surprised; as I am convinced the Ty Cobb brand was sort of a "novelty" item and was produced circa... early 1910 and thus would not have been included in the division of brands in the break-up."



Can we wait for conclusive evidence before drawing conclusions? I know I will. I have yet to see a shred of definative evidence that leads to the conclusion that the Ty Cobb brand was not produced at the same time as the other T206s.
