MISCELLANEOUS NON-POSTAGE STAMPS
Listed by Year Issued.
1940 US INTERNAL REVENUE 1 PACK PLAYING CARDS STAMP with U.S. P.C. Co. OVERPRINT: Scott #RF29, Rotary Press Coil Stamp that was in use from 1940 to 1965, stamp is still on the sealed pack of playing cards, cards are sealed with the old style wax paper wrapper, an approximately one half inch tear is on the pack edge. Card back design is a green and white house with a brown flower overlay made by the United States Playing Card Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. A reliable way to date decks made by the USPCC is the dating code printed on the ace of spades at the time it was manufactured. Since this pack is still sealed, it's not possible to do that. It is believed that this pack comes from the 1950s, but that is simply a best guess based on the other items it was found with. Nice item for either a stamp or vintage playing card collector.
