“It’s basically a War Bond.”

Youngsters were able to buy War Bonds during WWII. You got a little booklet and bought stamps from the post office when you had the money (dimes, or maybe quarters...I forget). You pasted the stamps in the booklet and when it was full you turned it in for a bond.

I have a couple of those booklets. One with ten cent stamps red with a minute man and the legend “war savings”, one with 25 cent stamps, green minute man, legend “America on Guard” US Postal Savings.
