RS242P4 John L. Thompson Medicine Stamp Plate Proof

$50.00

Dr. Isaac Thompson’s Celebrated Eye Water can trace its origin back to 1795. Dr. Thompson’s daughter Mary married an unrelated John L. Thompson, who acquired the medicine from his father-in-law (who later married his older sister – the reader can figure out the various relationships) and formed a company with several of his sons, John L. Thompson, Sons & Company, which lasted well into the Twentieth Century.
