Work on paper - War Savings Stamp, 6d WW2 war savings stamp, 1941-1944
These stamps were issued during WW2 and designed to be stuck into a war savings stamp booklet. When these were filled, you could redeem them for a £1 or £5 War Bond. This specimen is not watermarked indicating it was a re-issue of the earlier version with a watermark. Issued between August 1941 and March 1944. Designed and produced by the Government Stamp Printer. Although the stamp has been called the "Spitfire" for over 70 years, the image of the plane depicted is either a Boulton-Paul Defiant (with a turret mounted behind the cockpit) or a Hurricane rather than a Spitfire. A 6d stamp Australian War Savings stamp in Imperial Blue and white. Loosely held in a philatelic mount. stamps, war savings stamps, planes, second world war, fundraising -
