The listing, 1942 10 CENT WAR SAVINGS STAMP has ended.
War Savings stamps were issued by the Treasury Department. Several organizations, including the U.S. Post Office, sold War Savings stamps to help fund World Wars I (1917-18) and II (1942-45). The success of the programs reflect determination of average Americans to support the war efforts.Children were encouraged to purchase the 25¢ stamps and provided with a special card to paste 20 stamps. Completed cards could be exchanged for a $5 War Savings stamp by paying the difference between their $4 value and the current price of the $5 stamp. My late great grandma collected stamps. She was not a “true” stamp collector & basically stored them in manila envelopes. Whenever the USPS came out with a new stamp she would purchase them. Most of the stamps are in good condition as seen in photos but they have yellowed due to poor storage. These stamps are great for collectors both young and old alike. Additionally, they’d be great for paper crafting & jewelry making or anywhere else your creativity wants to take you.

I do have hundreds of stamps. If there is a specific one you’re looking for feel free to contact me and I’ll see if I have the one you need. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!
