I got this one when I first stated collecting revenue's...AMITY is in Erie County,PA.Erie,PA.&County is my main focus BUT any revenue is cool to me!! I love the way the bottom is cut,Like 17th.&18th.Cen.Document's...Cut so the "other" person can line their paper up to match.Early form of counterfeit detection...HAPPY HUNTING!!

That idea of cutting an edge as a security measure is very old, going back hundreds of years. Sometimes a manuscript series of circles, ovals or other designs was written (or printed)first, and than the paper was cut.

The idea of an ink impression across documents is still used by Notaries.
