1873 1c-6c Treasury Department,Official (4)

Stamps the Government Didn’t Want You to Have

In use for only eleven years, War Department official stamps were issued in 1873 and never sold directly to the public.  Now you can choose a special collector’s set of 4 unused War Department official stamps or the individual stamps you need.  Small flaws in these 135-year-old stamps save you money without detracting from their desirability or collectibility.  This is important military postal history that can never be duplicated.
