| Comments |
Kentucky's revenue stamps of this period were issued to enforce the state's cigarette tax, levied under legislation that predated federal consolidation of tobacco taxation. The 1-cent denomination reflects the per-unit tax structure applied to individual cigarettes or small lots — not a round package rate. At 31 x 31 mm, this is among the smallest fiscal documents Kentucky produced in the 1930s, closer in scale to a postage stamp than a conventional revenue instrument.
