Item Description

Full mint sheet of 20 - 29 cent stamps issued in 1992 to honor the 50th Anniversary of World War II. The stamps show events from 1942 including: a, B-25's take off to raid Tokyo, Apr. 18. b, Ration coupons (Food and other commodities rationed). c, Divebomber and deck crewman (US wins Battle of the Coral SEa, May). d, prisoners of war (Corregidor falls to Japanese, May 6). e, Dutch Harbor buildings on fire (Japan invades Aleutian Islands, June). f, Headphones, coded message (Allies decipher secret enemy codes). g, Yorktown lost, US wins at Midway. h, Woman with drill (millions of women join war effort). i. Marines land on Guadalcanal, Aug. 7. j, Tank in desert (Allies land in North Africa, Nov.). The Central label is the size of 15 stamps and shows world map, extent of axis control and the words "1942: Into the Battle". The picture below shows the full sheet. This sheet is as fresh as the day it was purchased from the post office 25+ years ago and is suitable for framing. If you're a stamp collector, it is Scott # 2697. I may have a variety of plate numbers and positions available so ask if you are looking for something in particular.
For First Class, flat shipping with a stiff cardboard backing for mint sheets I charge a flat rate of $3.00 for all items made with a single payment going to US addresses. That covers as many sheets as you win, so bid on several and save on postage. For other items and International addresses, actual postage costs will be charged.
