Welcome to Episode #162. The stamps of World War 1.

There were a few stamps printed by the United States specifically for World War 1. These include the very elusive AEF (American Expeditionary Forces) stamps printed for the use of soldiers to mail letters home, and also the War Savings stamps (to pay for the war). We discuss some things about the AEF stamps that may allow you to find some of these gems. We also discuss what the War Savings stamps are and how they were used.

 World War 1 is 100 years old this year…. Happy Birthday (4 minute marker)

 Enjoy.
