TTT cigarette box (T204) - different variety?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have recently come across this TTT cigarette box (T204) made by the Mentor Company. I know there is another variation of this box in a greenish color through other member threads on this forum. Has anyone seen this box variation before? It looks to have a 1909 date on the tax stamp. Thanks.

I haven't studied them, per se', but several members have. I don't think I have seen that pack before, very cool.
Could it have contained a card? Others will know more...

One member, Jon C. (hey Jon) has a great website and has some info here..

Would be useful to know exact size, to help date it. I would guess it is from after the T204's and when Timayenis had sold out However if it slightly undersize it might be before the 1909 issue, as there are several types of Ramly packs, most of which did not contain T204 cards.

The other known T.T.T. box type has his company name(Mentor) on it.

Both boxes have the crescent moon and star in the design.

O/T, but as a smoker who loves Turkish tobacco, my biggest curiosity is how they tasted when fresh.

Thanks all.

Scott, the box measures about the same as my Ramly box (picture provided). My TTT box has a Series 1909 tax stamp and those only ran to 1909. In 1910 there was another tax stamp used so the box could only be 1909 or earlier. Leon I am very well acquainted with the baseballandtobacco website thank you so much although I have not been able to find another box similar to mine thus far.
