This package is from Sporting Life: related ephemera

Rob,

It was just thin glassine closed on three sides with the right side open with a small thumb cut out, It's not uncommon to see a small stain or soiling right where the cut out was on the right edge. I think the W600 cabinet was mailed in the glassine, in a heavy envelope, possibly with other SL mailers and ad pieces.

I did a quick search and in 1910(the date on the mailer) the postage rate was 2 cents per ounce. So 7 cents would be for 3 1/2 ounces. Looking back at the SL ads, you had to send three 2 cent stamps and SL coupon OR 10 cents to get one cabinet. However you could also get them in groups of 10 later on. The packages certainly look too big for just one cabinet?

Max,

Perhaps it may have been for the M110 Sporting Life Cabinets? It's the correct time period.

....Same person addressed both boxes! Same handwriting. Sharp eye eh? Aloha, Dave.

The package has Magee on it who wasn't in the M110 set so maybe more likely W600.

When taking a look at the recipients a little more light is shed, assuming an exact date of 1910:

Harry Anthony is a 14 year old boy whose dad runs a hotel.

Henry Allison is 41 and runs a general store.

Perhaps some type of product or display was sent in these?
