Up for auction or GIN is an interesting lot of 19 US playing card revenue stamps. Stamps have ID and approx CV and will be sent enclosed in clear plastic mounts.
US revenue stamps, inscribed PLAYING CARDS, were included in the US revenue general issues of 1862-1871, but after the general issue was retired in 1871, other revenue stamps were used to indicate the payment of the federal tax on playing cards.
New revenue stamps, designed specifically for the federal tax on the sale of playing cards, were introduced in 1894. This new series of playing card stamps would continue in use, until the tax was abolished in 1965.
Thank you for bidding for these hard-to-find-in-one-nice-place interesting old stamps!
