FOR SALE: THE U.S. MILITARY HISTORIC STAMP
COLLECTION - COMPLETE SET
This historical set, issued by The American Military
Institute in 1981, was originally available only through mail order. The set contains 50 cards.
This is a 3-part set, which not only includes
50 different pre-1950s stamps, but each stamp is attached (in a plastic sleeve)
to a card that contains the detailed description of an historical military
event. The set is broken down into 3-part: 18th Century, 19th
Century and 20th Century.
Each card is beautifully
illustrated and places historic context to the stamp attached. Each stamp
itself is a collector’s item, and it is encased in a small plastic sleeve and
can be removed from the card. The front of the cards illustrate the military
event with beautiful artwork and the back of the card describes the event and
the relationship to the stamp.
The cards are maintained
in a collector’s case which came with the collection. Events range from the
Civil War in the 18th Century to The Treaty of Versaille in the 20th
Century. The stamps range from 2 cents to 25 cents, and all are in great condition.
