Welcome

Thank You for Shopping In the USA!

An ornate original antique document dated 1881 for the Business of Wholesale Liquor Dealer 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, engraved on the top center is the Greek God, Mercury, with the medical symbol (snake & staff) in hand, leaning on a large woven wicker, glass bottle, sitting next to wooden kegs, a moonshine still, along with a funnel lying on the ground! The government used this stamp as a tax for selling, dispensing 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\" and is watermarked, USIR.The document measures 11\" by 7\", there are only three hole punches (to void), one corner bump and some age toning (not pure white), otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document!This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a wine cellar, pharmacy, 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! :)
