Hi Took a look and found M&M revenues were Match and Medicine and not about the ones that "melt in your mouth and not in your hand"  Does the blue one come that way or was it cut 'special'? Jerry B |

I just got one in the mail yesterday and it was huge! Not so much a stamp but rather a tobacco dealers license. I had to fold quite a few (6 stubs) under just to make it fit in my Vario page in my BOB Lighthouse binder. I hate doing that but it needed special care and was already folded and has a small tear in the upper left right corner so wasn't very valuable monetarily speaking but RICH in historical value. Notice the silk threads. A Tobacco purveyor would remit his taxes and dues along with one of the accompanying strips each year to make good his government revenue payment. This one is "New Old Stock", well sort of... six boxcars of this stuff was bought up by a revenue collector wholesaler "back in the day" and starting selling them to collectors then the government got worried that people could still re-use them so they tried to buy them all back to destroy or punch-cancel them. as a result these are not hard to find but still very interesting. I normally see these and they're mostly alcohol and spirits oriented not Tobacco. The vignette on these is on par with a lot of the dollar denomination notes of the period and they display great. Anyway here is mine.
