This sort of thing only happens once in the preverbal blue moon! Wait...let me look outside.
Tonight at my stamp club meeting, a gentleman comes up to me and asks if I collect revenue stamps. 'Some' was my reply.
He proceeded to present two pages, one Canada, one US, of back of book material. I hadn't expected to buy anything tonight, but these I could NOT let go. There was stuff in here I'd only seen pictures of on the interweb.
Here is the US page (certainly the more interesting of the two collections). Over the next little while I'll pick out pieces to scan and show.
All I can say is, don't hate me because I'm beautiful!
Wine, beer, cigarettes, tobacco, playing cards, bedding, margarine, officials, postal notes, battleships, documentary and a couple of foreign pieces as well.
**sigh**
