That Ruth has so much that's just wrong.
Aside from being a cabinet photo with a Ruth picture stuck on. The stamp is from 1887, 20+ years after the civil war tax on photographs was repealed. And it's a regular postage stamp not a tax stamp. And the cancel is a typical postal cancel rather than what's typical for revenue use. If it was a stamp from the 1860's used as a tax stamp, which did happen, it would be a fairly interesting illegal use. Probably not worth $99, but collectible and worth more than an ordinary cabinet photo. How much more would depend on the stamp. So fake Ruth, fake revenue use of a postage stamp. At least the cabinet mount looks like a real one... Steve B
