"Severe Penalties are imposed for neglect or refusal to place and keep this stamp conspicuously in your establishment or place of business"! This document was more often issued for liquor dealers as not many people made stills during the period. The Revenue Collector, Frank Chase, was in Pittsburgh, PA! This document has beautiful graphics on a fantastic shade of green 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!

To prevent forgeries the government put black silk threads in the paper, which can be seen upon closer inspection... The document has hole punches on the front (to void), light edge wear and two tack holes, otherwise, condition is excellent... A beautiful document with great moonshine, liquor, distillery history! This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a brewery, wine cellar, pharmacy, bar, distillery, museum or office! As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage!
