RS28b Barry’s Tricopherous Medicine Stamp

$25.00

Alexander C. Barry was a wigmaker in New York City before introducing “Tricopherous, or Medicated Compound for Restoring, Preserving and Beautifying the Hair…” and promoting its use for other bodily pains. The stamps were issued from June 1865 to February of 1874. The Barry stamp was registered in the name of Barclay & Company who apparently took over the Barry products in 1873. A new design of the stamp was issued from March of 1874 to August of 1882.
