An ornate, antique document dated 1877 for Business of Retail 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 on a wonderful shade of yellow paper. Engraved on the top center is the Roman God, Hermes, 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! In fine print on the side is: "Engraved & Printed at the Bureau", "$25 Dollars Per Year" near the bottom, and "Stamp For Special Tax", near the top. The document has one remaining payment coupon, measures 8" by 7" and is in EXCELLENT condition!
This is a wonderful piece of US history and would be great to display in a wine cellar, bar, speakeasy, brewery, liquor store, kitchen or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email, thanks!
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!
