Description

Antique 1879 Malt LIQUORS Whisky Dealer Liquor License Civil War Bar Distillery
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
An ornate original antique document dated 1879 for the Business of Wholesale Malt 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 fantastic shade of paper! Engraved on the top center is a beautiful street scene of US Capitol Building in Washington, DC!
The government used this stamp as a tax for selling, dispensing and distilling malt liquor to raise money to pay for the Civil War. In fine print on the side is: "Engraved & Printed at the Bureau, Engraving & Printing", " Dollars Per Year" near the bottom, and "Stamp For Special Tax", near the top.
The front of the document measures 8" by 7", the coupons are folded behind, so the total length is 14". There are six hole punches (to void), two tack holes, a few small spots and light border wear, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document!
This is a FANTASTIC piece
of history and would be great to display in a brewery, pharmacy, bar, distillery, museum or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
