Hindu T206 Ed Reulbach (On Factory Ledger Page)

I do not believe that the information on the back of this piece pertains to the Hindu printing or packaging. It's more than likely in reference to another T206 back or possibly another issue all together.

I agree. No way to tell if this is Hindu reference on the backside. Especially if you consider that the page with the pasted Hindus is the left facing page (for argument's sake, page 1). Then you'd have a right facing page opposite (pg. 2), then turn the page, and you have another left facing page (pg. 3) and then this back which would be now the 4th page. It is too far removed to have a direct correlation with the cards on the opposite side.

Some examples of pages related to non-sports cards:

It seems to me that these ledger pages could just as well pages out a ledger used by a collector of years gone by, maybe someone who either was on the inside at American Litho or at American Tobacco, or knew someone who was, close in time to when the cards were issued.

That possibility seems as likely to me as thinking these are from some manufacturing or distributing entity.

Frank,
I am fairly certain these came from the factory or printer. The reason for this is the unissued t206s (and I think a couple of unissued non-sports as well). These would most likely originate from the original printings of the cards.

Joshua, it seems unlikely that American Tobacco would have a ledger of unissued cards. That kind of stuff would stay at American Litho, I'd think. Still, someone at American Litho could have kept it as part of collecting, and not as part of his business activity.

A while back, Dan Koochin reported of an American Lithographic document (dated March 18, 1911) stating that Factory #30 would be packaging
one baseball (T206) card and one military (T80) card in every box of five UZIT cigarettes.

This date is consistent with what we know of as the end of the T206 press runs and the start of the Gold-bordered Sports and Non-Sports cards.
