U.S State Revenue Stamps

This is a 1935-44 Nevada, #L2, 6 Cent brt green, Beer, Liquor, & Wine Tax stamp. These were actually used on various container sizes of beer.

The red 5 cent - 1933-1939 Ohio Wine Tax stamp # W1. The purple 1 1/2 cent - 1938 Ohio Malt Beverage Tax stamp #B95. The last 3 are - 1947 Ohio Wine & Mixed Beverage Tax stamps #WL75, WL76, and WL81 respectively. These are what I collect along with the Ohio Sales Tax stamps.

Mike,

I corrected your 2 posts. When you use the quote feature you must be sure to post your response OUTSIDE the quote box.
All fixed now and thanks for the info.

EDIT: What catalogue are you using ?

The next revision of the State Revenue Catalog will once again include the Ohio Prepaid Sales Tax Stamps so if you're interested in acquiring a copy you might want to wait for that edition's release. I haven't seen a projected timeline but will occasionally check the State Revenue Society website to see if any information has been posted about the upcoming revision. 

The 1st Quarter 2017 edition of State Revenue News (No. 312) included a spotlight on Jeff Hofius, the recently-appointed catalog editor. In it he said "...I have also written a listingfor Ohio Sales Tax...I plan to include an easy-to-use listing in the third edition of the SRS catalog..."

In the next three SRN issues he provided an overview of his listing and it is not like Monte's system. It seems that stamps will be numbered sequentially by printer (e.g., CO1 thru CO145, ME1 thru ME58, etc).

I figured I'd wait for the revision to come out before deciding if I wanted to change my system or just create a cross-reference of numbers similar to what Monte had done for his system and those of Hubbard and Malehorn & Davenport.

Has anyone seen duplicate serial numbers on Ohio State Tax Stamps? The reason I ask is that I bought some original partial boxes of Reserve Litho Ohio stamps and in the 6 cent box, the 3000's are all the same. I have 10 sets of duplicate serial numbers ending in 3900 - 3999. There are no numbers from 3000 - 3899. Which means I have 10 of each number with the same serial numbers. I thought that was interesting, then I looked through the 9 cent box I bought and I have the same duplicates in it. I could understand if they were both the same denomination, but two different denominations? This seems rather interesting. Thanks for any insight.

So you have boxes like mine. LOL. OK, I guess its normal. Thanks. I hope the small boxes aren't like this, I guess I check those too. I just bought the rest of the guys collection,another 22,000 OSTS, but don't get them till next week. Thanks again.

I just bought a mans entire collection. He was selling a few OSTS on Ebay and he had lots that several that I needed for about 50 cents each, so I bought all 3 lots he had listed. I asked if he had more and he sold me a few more. He then asked if I wanted to buy some boxes full, of course I asked how much. He sold be 2 5000 count boxes that had 3000 plus each and 3 full 1000 count boxes. I go them and that's where I found the duplicates of course, but he also included 100 random OSTS. I still haven't finished the stack yet, but out of the first 30 that I have done, I needed about 20 of them. Mostly Reserve Lithos, but they are filling in my spots.
Well, last week he asked if I wanted the rest of his collection, which was another 22,000 stamps, including 12 full 1000 count boxes for $440, well I had the money so I bought them. I should get them this week and I guess I'll see what I bought.
Do you have a list of what you have Steve? If so, send it to me so as I go through these, I can pull any you might need if you want me to. Or anyone else that collects these, I will gladly try to help out also.

I remember when you, Steve, posted recently that you got a stack of Ohio Stamps and had several serial number offsets in the stack, so I looked through several full boxes I got last week. In one of the 60 cent boxes, I found a serial number off set of about 3/8" inch I think, to the left, which makes it so you can't even read the number hardly. It was a stamp ending in #165. I searched the rest of the box and found no others. So, I looked in the next 60 cent box and what did I find, the stamp ending in #165 offset exactly like the first, and of course, the third box I have had the same number offset. I guess they had a serial number that just wasn't right when they printed that day. All 3 boxes are the same 4 letters at the beginning. Just some information that is good to know I guess. I am slowly, very slowly, still just trying to separate this collection into major groups right now,not in a hurry. I alreay have a bout 40 that I needed and I haven't even started on the new box yet.

Steve, I think you are doing better than me out of my new collection, I have 17 Ohio Tax stamps that you need in your envelope and that was just from yesterday pretty much. I didn't add that many to my collection yesterday and mine were mostly just varieties, not new stamps I needed. I only got about 4 Ohio Tax stamps I was missing. We'll see what today brings.

That's a nice lot. I could use that pair from Georgia on the left side, if you don't collect those. I am sure I could come up with a trade. Have a great day. Mike.
