War Insignia 'POSTAMP' Stamp Album No. 2
~ Published March 1942 ~
This is one of five different sets I'm offering: Vol No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. All five sets are imperfect in that the owner removed the staples from the binding and the covers, for some reason, have gone m...issing. The great thing though is the stamps sets in each are complete, unused, and in Excellent Condition.
This set is Vol 1, Series 1, No. 2 is from March 1942. There is an introduction page and all descriptions of the 50 various stamps are here. As in all five of the sets...not every stamp design features a Disney character (I think). Other few stamps are said to have been designed by famous artists like Walter Lantz, Pat Sullivan, George McManus and others. Background designs by George Johns. HOWEVER - first page of this album states "Volume Two of the War Library Collection of Combat Insignia published March 29, 1942, featuring, exclusively, fifty of Walt Disney created designs for military units of the armed forces and the United Nations (...) Number 101 has been added by popular request, commemorating the famous "Jiggs" design of the 11th Aero Squadron, one of the illustrious immortals of World War Number One".
This album actually extends from stamp no. 51 thru stamp no. 101 ~ so that's 51 stamps. The sheet contains fifty (51-100). However, stamp no. 101 is affixed in the last spot on the last page - so nothing (except the covers) is missing.
Paper Album Measures 7.5 x 10.25 Inches.
Very Good Condition w/Missing Covers. Stamps in Excellent Condition.
