An ornate, original antique document dated 1885 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, 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! It is watermarked, "USIR", in fine print on the bottom is: "Bureau, Engraving & Printing", "$25 Dollars Per Year" near the bottom, and "Stamp For Special Tax", near the top. The front is hole punched three times, the coupons for payment are folded behind, so please note that it is hole punched. The front measures 8" by 7", has some wear on the right border, otherwise, condition is excellent! Signed: W. E. Craig.
This is a wonderful piece of history and would be great to display in a wine cellar, bar, speakeasy, 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!
