I have gone crazy on EBay lately. I have purchased many stamp lots. One was a lot of World Fair Stamps 1939. They were stuck together from being in an envelope for many years. I saw this as a challenge. I received them yesterday in the mail and to my dismay found out that they are not postage stamps. They seem to be memorabilia stamps. There were over 20 of them. I still soaked them and painstakingly separated them. I have been researching for a day now and found nothing. Value, origination, number in a series.....nothing. Does anybody have any info on these stamps?
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
-- Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)
I've been going a little ebay crazy myself and have received a few surprise along the way. Even though they are not real stamps I would think they would have some historical value.
I'll help you research them and see if I can find anything out
