The cards were printed by the American Lithographic Company in New York, shipped to the various factories and inserted into the packs at the factories. Therefore I doubt any factory would've had print scraps. But I understand what you mean. It would be an awesome find if something like that actually existed.

At one point in time, before the factories were converted into other types of structures such as apartments/condos or torn down, they could have had extra cards sitting around. We'll never know.

For more information on the American Lithographic Company, I refer you to these two Net54 threads:

In New Orleans there was the W.R. Irby Branch of Liggett & Myers. I'm guessing this would be Factory 3 Dist of LA?




The building is still standing today... it's owned by a lawfirm.
