| Description | This image is a proof on card of the one barrel, 1-dollar Beer Stamp of 1871. The 1871 series of Beer stamps was bicolor with engraved colored frames printed by the National Bank Note Company and engraved black vignettes printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. For this stamp, the frame is scarlet and the vignette is an image of Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch (1808-1895). Two words are misspelled on the proof (and the stamp): McCulloch's name is misspelled "McCullough," and the word "printing" in "Bureau of Engraving and Printing" is misspelled. If listed in Scott, the number would be REA28P4. |
