Question about T206 history

I've often seen it written here that tons of recycled paper and metal were used in the war efforts of WWI and WWII. Nobody would have thought to preserve the card machines or paper related thereto during these time periods.

If you start adding up all of the possible reasons for stuff to not have survived, the fact that as much Early Twentieth Century tobacco-related stuff exists today is remarkable
