Embossed Tax Stamp To Your Collection
A fascinating forerunner of the postage stamp, British tax revenue stamps date back to the 17th century. When Britain declared their famous “Tea Tax” in 1775, this revenue even made its way to America! Issued by Great Britain, this stamp was used to show payment of taxes on a variety of items, including newspapers, land registry, and even playing cards. Each stamp carries on its reverse a unique seal which identifies the Queen of England under which the stamp was issued – Queen Victoria, in this case. Historic, yet surprisingly affordable.
