In fine condition, with a light stain to the upper left blank area.
As the nation grappled with the legal, financial, and political challenges of reunification following the Civil War, the Office of the Solicitor of the Treasury played an important role in overseeing claims, customs matters, revenue enforcement, and litigation involving the Treasury Department.
