T206 opened Cigarette boxes!

Posted By: Richard Dwyer

What bothers me about this box is the tax stamp or pieces of 2 different tax stamps. In the first picture you see the top of the tax stamp on the top of the box. In the second picture you see the same piece on the front of the box. Also note that in the second picture that the thumb is hiding the fact that the piece of tax stamp is misaligned with the one on the front of the box.
The second picture also shows overprinting, where the front one doesn't. What's missing completely is the top of Dewitt/Clinton's head from any of the tax stamps. I suspect this box was doctored with another piece of a tax stamp from another box.
