Hey guy's any of you ever seen a Distillery Tax Stamp before? Picked this up yesterday..thought it was different..Liberty is making a Toast!! Seems as though it is unissued. RickieB
Here is one of mine. Punch canceled. Largest stamp I have at 8 1/2 x 11. Takes a whole page in my BOB album. Jim
Jim.. That is really neat! And what color it has...very very cool. Thank you for sharing that..this is the first I have seen of them..read quite a bit about them but had not seen them. RickieB
Here's the modern day equivalent. I've had this forever, not even sure how I got it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Dave
WOW..and I am from Texas born and rasied.. Very very cool Dave. :bow: :thumb: Have never seen that before. RickieB
Guys! That's some great stuff as usual per the CT crowd. :thumb: And since we're sharing... I've never been a smoker but I've always admired old cigar boxes for their colorful and sometimes embossed lithographic designs as well as their printed Internal Revenue tax seals/stamps (whatever may remain of them) still in place after cancellation. I especially like the weathered old boxes you can find in estate sales or antiques shops and such. I like the deteriorating labels as they are, with so much character. I know there's a whole world of tobacco paraphernalia collectors out there but I've never looked into it, and no I don't keep my coins in the old boxes. Here are a few quick shots of some of mine with a close up or two of the tax stamps:
Definitely! All we need is some licensing papers for the Wild Horse Brothel, and we've got a complete vice collection!
