did this contain anything??????

Andrew - unfortunately no, but nice companion piece. The N300s came in single-tired Mayo lunchboxes.

Hey Jon,

Is there any evidence that N300s were issued as a lunchbox insert? There was also a tobacco pack at that time that seems a possibility for an insert.

Ron,

No definitive proof on either front, but here is what I've been told and/or know. There is evidence that the position cards came in the Mayo pouches (in the form of a story of a pouch being opened in the ate 90's and a position card being pulled out). As for the Mayo tins, there is an article appearing in paper around the 1900s discussing how 5 baseball subjects were packaged in lunchbox tins. While I do not believe that Mayo was named in the article, it is the only brand that ever produced lunchbox tobacco tins and baseball cards. Of note, however, is I do not believe the article mentioned boxing cards or other Mayo issues.

..............primarily to keep this thread going, as the packs are my current passion. Let's keep it going.
