This is one of 5 colonial documents recently acquired from the Eastern United States. Each of these documents date back over 250 years (PRE American Revolution). They date range from 1764-1766 and show examples of the albino impression British Tax Stamp that was being used in North American colonies to collect tax from the colonists (TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION). All are on handmade, laid watermarked paper and very few have been reported in private hands. These documents go beyond just Revenue stamp collecting, as they are truly historical.
