    Description

    Scarce Antique 1862 Stissing Bank, Dutchess County, NY w/ CIVIL WAR era Revenue Stamp
    In August 1862, while the American Civil War was being waged, the United States (Union) government began taxing a variety of goods, services and legal dealings. To confirm that taxes were paid a 'revenue stamp' was purchased and appropriately affixed to the taxable item, which would in turn pay the tax duty involved.
