Description
Size of engraving 191 23mm. A groom leading a prancing horse upon the horizontally lined ground of a circular disk bordered by an horizontally lined band between two colorless lines. This band is inscribed above, “Dr. c. F. Brown’s”, and below “Young American LiniMent.” At top, in a curved, vertically lined label, “U. S. Inter. Rev.”; below, in a similar manner, “One Cent.” The lower inscription is separated between the two words by a large, fancy, colorless numeral of value which extends through the circular band above and into the lower part of the central disk. All of the inscriptions are in colorless, Roman capitals. The ground is so shaded, horizontally and vertically, as to make it appear that the central disk is super-imposed upon a shield shaped tablet, and there are slight, colorless ornaments below the ends of the upper label.
This die was registered, and all business transacted, in the name of Ward, Southerland & Co., 130 William St., New York, N. Y.
