*NOTE:  What are Defense Savings Stamps?
The Defense Postal Savings Stamp Albums were distributed by the U.S. Treasury, mostly through the Post Office Department. It was a way
for the government to have the public help finance the war effort. War savings stamps were first issued in 1917, during World War I. In May,
1941, the America on Guard series appeared, consisting of 10, 25, 50 cents, $1 and $5 denominations. Use was encouraged as a way for
the public to save money and at the same time contribute to the war effort.  Adults could place them in correspondingly higher value
"albums" and trade them in upon completion for $50.00, $100.00 or higher denomination War Savings Bonds
