RS83b P.H. Drake & Co. Medicine Stamp
$100.00
Patrick Henry Drake and Demas Barnes formed a partnership around 1862 to manufacture and market Drake’s Plantation Bitters. In 1867 Barnes and Drake dissolved their partnership and Plantation Bitters was transferred to P.H. Drake & Company, with the dies to the horizontal Barnes stamps. The 2 cent and 4 cent dies were altered to include the new name and a picture of the distinctive log cabin bottle Plantation Bitters was sold in. The stamps were issued from January 1869 to March of 1875.
