Returned seal tax stamps, 1886.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122388072

The 1876 Code of Ala. Sec. 518 to 521 required that all public officers who must affix their seal to official documents use tax stamps as their official seal. These stamps were issued by the State Auditor and sold to the various clerks, judges, and other county officials throughout the state. In 1885 the law requiring these stamps was repealed (Acts of Ala. 1884-1885, #7, p. 73) and the stamps could be sold back to the State Auditor. The stamps are small postage style stamps of orange color with adhesive backing. The series also contains letters transmitting the stamps to the Auditor's office.
