Did you know 112 years ago today (December 22, 1910), the US Post Office Department issued the first Postal Savings Official Mail stamp (US #O121)? These stamps were issued in five denominations to be used when sending mail related to the US Postal Savings System.
The stamps were only active until 1914, when unused quantities were returned to the post office and destroyed. That makes unused stamps scarcer than used today!
