    Antique 1876 MOONSHINE Whiskey STILL Liquor License Civil War Keg Bar Distillery
    Welcome
    &
    Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
    An ornate original antique document dated 1876 for the 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"! Signed by Collector, JD Decker of New York, link: http://genealogytrails.com/ny/monroe/jddecker.html Please see photos!
    This document has beautiful graphics on a fantastic shade of pink paper! 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", " Dollars Per Year" near the bottom, and "Stamp For Special Tax", near the top. To prevent forgeries the government put black silk threads in the paper, which can be seen upon closer inspection...cool!
    The front of the document measures 8" by 7", the coupons are folded behind, so total length is 14". There are nine hole punches on the front (to void), has one spot and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document!
    This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, wine cellar distillery, museum, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, medicine, US currency, Alcoholics Anonymous, Capone, 1920s, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items!
    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!
