I bought this for a couple dollars. I'm amazed how the TR got thier mark on everything. Gary

that's looks like some kind of tax stamp, what you think?

[RH1941]

I believe it is a tax stamp. Gary

[gooseandspoons]

i wonder if they taxed all consumer products.

[RH1941]

Gooseandspoons thats a good question. I bet somebody here knows. Gary

[Auseklis]

Indeed a tobacco tax strip.
No, not all consumers products were taxed, only stuff like tobacco, booze, coffee and similar.

Hi,
Here are my 2 packets of these papers, neither with a tax stamp. I've seen lots of these, most without the stamps, but a lot of them came from two large boxes full of these packets, but I cant remember whether the box was stamped.

Vonbond very nice items . Do you know why one is colored and the other is just green and tan ? Gary

[Adrian Stevenson]

Nice little items.

The difference in printing came about due to wartime austerity measures. Wasteful use of resources such as extra colours being used was prohibted.

Cheers, Ade.
