Item Description

This lot includes two beautifully preserved U.S. commemorative stamp blocks from 1972, celebrating American milestones:

100th Anniversary of Mail Order Business (8¢): Featuring a nostalgic design illustrating the roots of the mail order industry, pioneered by Aaron Montgomery Ward in 1872. This historic innovation transformed American commerce, offering convenience and accessibility to rural areas.
75th Anniversary of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) (8¢): Highlighting the vital role of the PTA in fostering collaboration between educators and parents to enhance children’s education. The bold design features a blackboard theme with bright yellow accents.
Both stamp blocks include visible plate numbers and are in mint, unused condition, mounted securely on archival album pages.

Mail Order Business: Aaron Montgomery Ward's mail-order catalogs revolutionized retail, providing a lifeline to consumers in rural America and laying the groundwork for modern e-commerce.
Parent-Teacher Association (PTA): Founded in 1897 as the National Congress of Mothers, the PTA became a cornerstone of advocacy for child welfare, education, and family engagement across the United States.

Perfect for collectors of U.S. commemorative stamps, educators, history enthusiasts, and those passionate about American business and educational heritage.

These stamp blocks are in mint, unused condition, with minor age-related toning on the album sheet edges, consistent with vintage stamps.

Celebrate America’s progress in commerce and education with these 1972 Mail Order Business and Parent-Teacher Association commemorative stamp blocks. An excellent addition to any philatelic collection. Bid confidently, as this is part of an estate liquidation with no returns.
