war stamps
Conflict financing adhesives
War stamps were government-issued stamps sold to citizens during wartime, particularly World War I and World War II, as a way to help finance military efforts.
Buyers accumulated stamps in booklets that could eventually be exchanged for war bonds.
The program made patriotic investment accessible even to those who couldn't afford full bond purchases: Schoolchildren bought war stamps with their allowance money.
