I recently found a few rather old looking stamps. I understand that stamp collecting is quite popular, and only a few stamps are worth something, but God only knows how long these have seen the light of day. :) Any response is appreciated!
These are S&H Green stamps. They were given as a premium when you bought an Item at a participating store. They were redeemable for merchandise from the S&H catalog. They were popular up until the late 1960's/early 1970's. The only ones with any value are the ones from the early 1900's to very early 1950's. Sorry, but these are later(early 1960's)
You can still redeem them. I have a whole big box of them. thousands of them. My wife thinks she is going to count them all up and order something. I was amazed that they were still valid...but they are.
Just wondering if they made you paste them all in the little paper booklets. Spent many a cold winters night with my mom at the kitchen table pasting stamps into booklets. S&H, the A&P red ones, and one that had a little elephant on it. Fond memories. Mom even got a new am/fm radio that was bakelite, seafoam green. Her favorite item..
