Appearing on eBay for sale in March 2023 were two Paper Fabrique card boxes. The insides were used for lists of material for building windows and door frames. The date was November 22, 1918. The work was to be done at the J. K. Ramsay house in Bryant, Virginia, and the material came from a hardware store in nearby Lovingston. These towns are about 30 miles from Basic City. Are there more boxes or decks in the area?
THESE DECKS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY TAX REVENUE STAMP ON THEM.
THE EXCEPTION WOULD BE A RED (RF1) STAMP IF A SELLER STILL HAD ONE SITTING ON THEIR STORE SELF IN AUGUST 1894.
