War Stamps/Bonds/Loans covers - let's see 'em
3 3

226 posts in this topic

I might be ploughing a lonely furrow here, but Overstreet breaks them out (sometimes) so there must be a few others out there chasing these.

Self interest disclosure:

- I'm hoping to identify issues I don't know about through this thread.

- Any issues I mention that I don't have can be considered 'want to buy'

Let's start with a few Fawcett War Stamps covers:

There's three more Fawcetts with stamps I'm aware of - Captain Midnight 22, Funny Animals 6 and 20

For July 4 in 1944 and 1945 many magazines (not just comics) ran war bonds covers. here's the Reader's Digest from each year:

I've got a couple of others and sometimes think a July 1944 news stand display would be cool. hm

Here are some of the 1944 comics:

And here's a couple of other stamps issues - a Dell and a Blue Beetle:

 

Here's one I don't have (but would like to) - the scan is from the GCD:

I always thought of that cover as a Hitler/Tojo cover and forgot about the war bonds ad. Purchased off the back of a pickup truck at a flea market.

:applause: Fantastic - consider those two added to my want list!

 

You don't happen to have a list of your own do you? I'd be happy to swap notes.

Never kept a list of the war bond covers. Just happen to be ones that I've accumulated over the years as I pick up WWII covers (my focus).

 

Here's another:
