Vintage Stamp Catalogue – Part 2

Most of the stamps I showed last week from United States Stamp Catalogue Specialized were more serious in nature, so this time I thought I’d show some of the more “fun” stamps from the same book. I mostly picked out stamps that were more light and celebratory (e.g. Christmas, sports, fairs, bazaars and anniversaries).

Vintage Stamp Catalogue


I don’t really plan on buying vintage books when I go thrift shopping (and I certainly don’t need them), but it tends to be one of the things that I inevitably get. I picked up United States Stamp Catalogue Specialized from 1948 that I took a cursory look at before I bought it (for a whopping $1); I took a closer look at it when I got home and was impressed by the wealth of images in it.
