Here are some US WW II patriotic labels that just arrived in the mail today. They are numbered 1-50, series one. Not sure if there are any more sets in the series. It appears there is a different artist's work on each stamp. The artist's information is printed on the back of the stamps on top of the glue so a lot of these are missing some of the information due to the glue being disturbed. I will post a scan of the back of one of the stamps to give an idea of what I'm talking about. I am also posting some scans of other US WW II patriotic labels.




Back of last stamp bottom row, second page.




A few more pages of labels.

Great labels vinman. I think that cinderellas have come a long way in popularity among collectors over the past 20 + years.

Great set!

Not to be too au courant, but I notice that all of the women are victims & victims-to-be ... not one Rosie The Riveter "I am going to work so he can go to war" in the lot, let alone Women's Army Corps et al.

Also missing are what we think of today as popular wartime slogans ("Loose Lips Sink Ships"), but Artists For Victory Inc may have required totally original work for this series.

Cheers,
