Washington, D.C., 22 x 28 inch poster from the U.S. Government Printing Office 1941, stating that Defense Savings Stamps can be purchased at any location with this emblem displayed, as a service of the American Railroads in the interest of National Defense. Portrait of a "Colonial Minute Man" with rifle next to title "Buy Defense Savings Stamps Here". These stamps were sold by the United States Treasury Department to fund participation in World War II. In contrast to Liberty Bonds, which were purchased primarily by financial institutions, war savings stamps were principally aimed at common citizens. When the Treasury began issuing war savings stamps during World War II, the lowest denomination was a 10-cent stamp, enabling ordinary citizens to purchase them. In many cases, collections of war savings stamps could be redeemed for Treasury Certificates or War Bonds. XF condition and appears new.
