1940-1949 Three Cent Commemorative issues Including regular issues of the 1940s.
1940-1942 Issues
Scott 908, 1¢ Four Freedoms, Scott 907 2¢ United Nations, and Scott 905 3¢ Win the War
1943-1944 Overrun Countries The Bureau of Engraving and Printing was busy printing war bonds and ration coupons, and had neither the time nor the resources for designing and printing stamps. It also did not possess the specialized presses necessary for multi-color printing. For the first time since 1893, this job was given to a private security printer, the American Bank Note Company. Plate numbers could not be used, as this would conflict with the BEP practice of assigning sequential plates for all issues. Therefore, the name of each country appears as the plate number. Only upper right positions were printed; there are no other plate positions.
Scott 910a, 5¢ Czechoslovakia error, double impression (especially evident in the red "Czechoslovakia")
The blue and red stripes of the error stamp were printed over the top of the gray ink used for the frame -- resulting in "no folds" in the flag image in the blue and red stripes. This is especially noticeable in the red stripe in this example.
