ONE PAGE EXHIBIT FEATURING THE YEAR 1942
Outagamie Philatelic Society was founded in 1942. Help us celebrate our birthday by creating a one page exhibit using the year 1942. This is the second year of WWII.
- You can use the stamps from any country issued in 1942.
- The total of 1942=16 can be used if you prove how you are using it.
- You can use a 1942 stamp and build a topical one page exhibit around it - using various year stamps to develop your topic.
- Another idea - find a series of stamps issued by a country and use a 1,9,4,2, value stamp and tell about the stamp/series etc.
- Use a cover or cancel from 1942 and develop it. 1942 postcard's.
- Think of something more unusual than the above! Go for it!
