Item Details

The stamps feature designs and printing techniques consistent with U.S. postage stamps from the early to mid-20th century, particularly during the World War I and II periods. The presence of the 'U.S.S.A. BONDS' inscription indicates they were likely issued during a time of war when the government promoted savings bonds.
