Coupon Type 1--Notes & Facts

Hi Rob,

And only Polar Bear contains O'Hara and Demmitt St. Louis, only EPDG was distributed by factory #17, only American Beauty is narrow, only Sweet Cap have overstrikes, only Polar Bear has white lettering on the reverse, all but Polar Bear were distributed with cigarettes, all but Hindu were issued in the same color print, etc.

Thus is the mystery and magnificence of T206.

You meant to say, "Thus is the mystery and magnificence of T206-1, T206-2, T206-3, T206-4, T206-5, T206-6, T206-7, etc, etc."

Or should we call it "the set formerly known as T206?"

Didn't some one find that AB T206's had 2 different green types? Also this excludes the OM's also

[drdduet]

Yes Andrew,

You are correct that would be 3 of the existing T206 brands having issued different colored print on the reverse--AB-green, lighter green; OM-brown, black; and Hindu-red, brown. My mistake.

There was a thread not too long ago regarding two different shades of green for the Sovereign backs. Ted Z described one as green and the other as apple.

Just to recap, the 34 150/350 Southern League subjects were printed with Brown Hindu, Old Mill Southern and (in relatively small quantities) Piedmont 350.

The 14 350-only Southern League subjects were printed with Old Mill Southern and (in relatively large quantities) Piedmont 350. They were not printed with Brown Hindu.

Since Piedmont production dwarfed Hindu production, the 14 350-only Southern League subjects are more prevalent than the 34 150/350 Southern League subjects, despite their availability with one fewer back type.
