Default Tobacco packs

Posted By: pete

is an empty Sweet Caporal, factory no. 25, 2nd district of virginia...but with a tax stamp of 1903...it contained 10 cigarettes and looks just like the authenticated ones that contained a t206 card. the tax stamp has the act of march 2, 1901 on it as well. however i have been told by members that "yes it could of been since tax stamps were used for several years" and "no because it doesnt have the correct tax stamp, 1909-10"...so, im guessing we'll never know...but i keep it since it is pretty cool and its still affiliated with the t206 cards.
pete-

oh, i say empty because it does have 7 old cigarettes in it, but i dont think they are original.

my best pitch was the one that made it to the plate!
