What a beautiful stamp! Your send went out yesterday! I added in some nice mint 1950s Chinese stamps in for you! Older mint Chinese are really hard to find here and if you do find them...they demand a high price!!! Also added in some nice
clean UN FDCs I had extras of and some other mints I had double of! Hope you like them all...I know I really liked your send and am looking forward to more trades and wins!! Maybe you can add in some of your old back of the book ones
next time?? I always seem to get out bid on most of them! Your friend, China Mike

Private die proprietary stamps were first used in 1862 and again from July 1, 1898 until July 1, 1902 to help fund the Spanish American War. Patent medicines, perfumery and cosmetics, chewing gum and sparkling wines were taxed.
A number of companies availed themselves of the "free" advertising and discount available through use of private die stamps.
Why some stamps were destroyed;
"That in all cases where such stamp is used, instead of his or their writing, his or their initials and the date thereon, the said stamp shall be so affixed on the box, bottle, or package, that in opening the same, or using the contents thereof, the said stamp shall be effectually destroyed;..."
