United States, Lock, Smoke or Drink, 1871-1953. The siren call of Revenues; once you see this collection of hundreds you'll be tempted to start collecting them yourself; two tremendous volumes on black stock pages in indestructable binders; intriging lock seals (dozens), bottle stamps in beautiful condition (several dozen), distilled spirits case stamps, medicinal whiskey (isn't it all?) prescription forms under the National Prohibition Act, different controlled prescriptions from the 1920s, retail liquor dealer stamps, several unissued (with receipt) Brewer's Permits from 1872, hundred of neatly organized cigarettes stamps, cigar stamps from 1906, 1916, 1917, 1926 and engraved issues from the 1950s, cigar wrappers, dozens of stamps for snuff including banknote sized 1/2, 1, 2, 3 and 5 pound (snuff said about that), manufactured tobaco with coupons, and tin foil cigarette wrappers; condition varies considerably since the commercial intent did not lend itself to a focus on condition; seldom encountered material well worth a peek, Fine to Very Fine.
