Hi everyone!

Just wanted to ask you on your opinions on the factory #25 T207 Anonymous', what brand do you think it was packaged with?

It is almost certain that factory 3's were issued with Coupon cigarettes.

A previous post on this board suggested Sweet Caporal issued the #25's but I'm not too sure, because:

-Sweet Caporal was not given to Ligget & Myers in 1911 (L&M are thought to have produced all/most T207s).

-T207 Anon #25's are incredibly scarce, if a massive brand such as Sweet Caporal had produced these, more would have been produced and more would have been preserved.

I am by no ways a T207 expert, so experts feel free to correct me, but I believe Drum/Drummond could have produced these as:

-I believe Drum was acquired by L&M in 1911, not 100% certain.

-Drum wasn't particularly popular, so little were produced, that explains the Anon #25's scarcity.

-Drum's were packaged with cards at factory #25 in the T206 issue, it could be the same case with T207s.

Let me know about your particular theories and please let me know if my theory is possible/impossible.

P.S: Sorry for the bad grammar
