Since there has been quite a few Revenue stamp threads lately I thought I'd show a couple of my more interesting Revenue/M&M stamps. I know these aren't anything special but then again Revenue stamps aren't my main interest but I have been known to pick up ones that catch my eye.
Some of my more interesting revenue/M&M stamps.
Ayer & Co. stamp
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake pills and seaweed tonic stamp
Jas. L. Clark Oshkosh. Wis, Star Matches stamp {selvedge capture at left}
