Are the "T213-1" (1910 COUPON) cards really T206's ? ....I think so....What say you ?

[sb1]

Long shot, but does anyone recall a find or original collection where there were type 1 Coupons mixed with the other T206 brands. That would help cement their printing and distribution to the same time frame. I have purchased a couple of sizeable original collections of T206's, one of which was 90% Sovereign(all backs) indicating the smoker collector was a hardcore Sovereign cigarettes devotee.. There were a few other brands mixed in, but not many.

That's a good point Scott? I'm not super-intuned to t206...but I used to be! I can't recall a "find" of original cards that contained coupons????

Hi Scott

Circa 2009 there was the "Louisiana find" of about 100 cards including T213-2 & 3, T214, T215 1 & 2, and T207's with RED CROSS backs (including Lowdermilk with RED CROSS back).
The timeline for this group of cards ranges from 1910 to 1919. And, what to me is most notable in this collection, is it does NOT include a single 1910 COUPON card.

I cannot think of any collection of any size that has included 1910 COUPON cards in my experience collecting vintage cards since 1977.


Scott, regarding your..... " I have purchased a couple of sizeable original collections of T206's, one of which was 90% Sovereign(all backs) ".....was this an original collection, and if so,
where did it originate from in the US ?
