Possible Red Sun Tobacco Tab

John - If L&M produced a reproduction in the 70's, then they have to have either a picture, description, or even an original pack to reproduce it, right ? I am just thinking out loud here (Dangerous), it would be interesting to find out who/what dept. - (Corp Marketing group at LM) made the reproduction since it was only 40 years ago, they may still be alive or even recall, and if so, they may have details that could open the Red Sun Mystery up a bit more. Do we know where Red Sun was sold ? Besides New Orleans, was it marketed, sold anywhere else outside of Louisana ? Interesting that Red Sun players coincide with certain T210-8's, but not the rest of them. (Think Chattanooga Series 8, among other series 8 players) Note to self : Retirement Project - Criss-Cross Louisana countryside in search of Red Sun Pack, etc.

Jeremy - good question and I'm not sure of the answers. Below is the remake of the Red Sun pack. It is the only one pictured on my website as well:



I'm unsure how L&M obtained the graphics to reproduce the pack, but I was told by many cigarette pack collectors that the graphics on the reproduced packs are the same as the originals. I have also seen a reproduced American Beauty pack, and that was spot on with the original graphics, too.

Probably from file copies of the graphics or something, I'd imagine........
