Check your T222 Fatima backs...
Posted By: Jimi
I've come across 4 or 5 of my backs being No. 42s rather than the normal No. 25 factory backs, which I have 35 or so of those. Anyone know the story on this? Is there at least some scarcity on the 42s? I have 3 of the McInnis T222s, 2 are the 25s and the other is a 42 back. And.......is there a third factory back that I simply don't have? |

I just rechecked what I have and I only have 3 of the 42 variation in my set with them being the Alexander "RC", Maisel, and the Lobert SP. I also have a lower grade McInnis in a 42. Anyone else? Thanks for your input, Brian. |

I found two (Orr and McInnis) out of ten with factory 42. Interestingly, I have dupes of Orr. I have Orr with a factory 25 and factory 42 back. |

Mine are about 20% NC (Fact. 42) and the rest VA (Fact. 25). |

I was wondering when you'd chime in Bill. The first place I looked after reading this thread was T207.COM |

I couldn't agree with you more, Bill. I guess this thread is really just "food for thought". I think though that what we are seeing so far is that the 42s are harder to get than the 25s. I guess though, if someone had a type card collection going and cared about the backs, they may want to know that there are different backs to the Fatimas. |

For those who care, here is a photo of the Fatima cigarette factory, owned by W. Duke and Sons, located near Main and Duke streets in Durham, North Carolina. Built in 1884, the old factory is now two floors. Circa 1910. |

No question that the VA Fact. 25 backs are found much more often (5-10x) than the NC Fact. 42 ones, but unless someone can show otherwise, I think that all cards were printed in both locations. |

I think that all T222s were produced in one location. Then they were shipped to the two factories. I can't see a cigarette factory getting into the photography development / printing business. |
