Have You Seen This "Poker Chip" Local Stamp?
This Local stamp was created by Adams & Co. Express, California (an extension of Adams & Co. Express on the US East Coast). This 25¢ stamp pictures D.H. Haskell, manager of the operation, and was printed on pink glazed cardboard stock. Some examples may be printed on the cream side of the cardboard instead of the pink. Philatelic experts believe it was likely never intended for use as postage, but as a substitute for money. Perhaps that's why stamp collectors gave this Local issue the nickname "Poker Chip!" It's a fun story you'll love sharing. Get this stamp in your collection today.
