Poster Stamps are the ultimate topical collectible and bring as much historical interest to stamp and ephemera collecting as any specialty. First issued in Europe in the late 1800s to promote or commemorate events, poster stamps are growing in popularity in the 21st century as new catalogues are being issued for many different topics and for collectors with chronological / geographic interests.

Eleven months after WW1 ended, this letter in German was mailed from New York City to Vienna, Austria. Emmerich Kamptner sent it,registered,to a relative, Carl Kamptner during the chaotic period just after the war, possibly with money enclosed. The sender was announcing his loyalty to any US officials with a war era fund-raising stamp on the back: “buy more War Savings Stamps now”.
