Just when you thought it was safe...

Posted By: Eric

I agree that the grading of this cigarette pack is misleading. As was mentioned, the 1909 tax stamp was issued between 1909 and 1917. Unless there is an overprinted date on the stamp, there's no way to tell when the pack was manufactured. I have empty Mecca and Hassan cigarette packs with the 1909 tax stamp but both stamps have overprinted dates. One pack has an overprinted date of April, 1911 while the other pack has an overprinted date of December, 1911. I also have a Nebo pack with all the cigarettes and redemption coupon still inside. This pack also has a 1909 tax stamp on it but an overprinted date of 1917 on the stamp.
Hell, let's end the mystery surrounding the contents of the pack on ebay. One of you guys buy it, break it open and we'll all have a smoke!
