Antique 1875 BREWER Liquor Beer License Bar Civil War Distillery Keg War Tax Description

Welcome

Thank You for Shopping In the USA!

An ornate original antique document dated 1875 for the Business of Brewer issued by the US Internal Revenue...\"Severe Penalties are imposed for neglect or refusal to place and keep this stamp conspicuously in your establishment or place of business\"! Please see photos!This document has beautiful graphics on a fantastic shade of blue paper! Engraved on the top center is the US Capitol Building with other buildings and trees. The government used this stamp as a tax for brewing and distilling liquor to raise money to pay for the Civil War. In fine print on the side is: \"Engraved & Printed at the Bureau, Engraving & Printing\", \"$100 Dollars Per Year\" near the bottom, and \"Stamp For Special Tax\", Internal Revenue. To prevent forgeries the government put black silk threads in the paper.The front measures 8\" by 7\", the payment coupons are fold behind, so total length is 14\". There are nine hole punches on the front and a line on the back (to void), light smudges, one small spot and two tack holes, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document...great in person!This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a wine cellar, bar, distillery, museum or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest! :) Pleased to combine shipping with other Prohibition Prescriptions, Liquor Licenses, Opium Forms & Pharmacy Labels. As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage! :)

All items ship within 24 hours of payment from the United States and will arrive typically within 3 to 5 days!
