Original 1864 New York Central Railroad freight receipt from Frankfort, documenting shipment of cheese and butter during the Civil War. Affixed at upper right is a 2¢ Andrew Jackson “Black Jack” postage stamp, used illegally as a revenue stamp, a practice seen during the wartime tax period when proper revenue stamps were not always available.

Stamp shows a clear manuscript cancel tied directly to the document. Receipt is fully handwritten, dated December 9, 1864, and signed by the railroad agent. Strong example of Civil War‑era commercial paperwork and improper revenue usage.

Highly collectible for specialists in: • Civil War postal history • Black Jack stamps • Illegal/improper revenue usage • 19th‑century railroad ephemera
