RustyCanteen Posted November 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2013 This is a WWII 'cinderella' (as it is known in philatelic circles, basically it looks like a stamp but is not) made to advertise enlistment in the WAVES. It's about one inch tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted November 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2013 Very cool! Is this something that would have been added to an envelope kind of like how there used to be Christmas stamps that weren't really postage? ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted November 25, 2013 That is exactly how they would be used. Very much like a 'Christmas seal', it was placed on the flap to seal it. Although some could have been used purely for patriotic use on the front, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted November 25, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2013 Did these exist for women for the other branches of service? ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted November 25, 2013 I actually don't know, I have wondered the same thing. I have it because I tried to pick up and WWII era patriotic labels I happened to see. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted November 25, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2013 I actually don't know, I have wondered the same thing. I like it! Maybe someone on here has one from another branch of service. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
