At the end of the ACC "T" section comes three sets of cards. T175-T177. They are what Burdick termed 'package design' cards and were issued as part of the inner slides of the slide and shell Sweet Caporal cigarette boxes. The T177 set are dominoes and the artwork was used on this set as well as others. Each inner slide on these sets have a pair of subjects that were to be cut out and collected. The T177 set is a (28) card set. It pictures dominoes in all the possible combinations along with a country name for each of the 28 cards. The cards are almost always found trimmed from the boxes.
This lot is for a single Sweet Caporal cigarette slide and shell box with a pair of T177 cards still uncut on the inner slide. The box is in GVG to VG condition and the two dominoes on the box are 1/5 Mexico and 1/4 Brazil.
