As stressful the depression was especially with people needing stamps or ration cards to get foods or clothing they needed back ups. Spare stamps in order to continue in getting what they needed. Here in Baltimore they were especially use as else where aorund the country. They were individual stamps connected together. Some families get them from relatives who were in the military or stationed in Baltimore already. It was a time of toughness and these stamps weren't like they were endless supply. Baltimoreans had to use them wisely but most importantly don't forget them. If you talking about a single item being valuable these spare stamps were the ideal important commodity. It really makes you think what people here in Baltimore and around the country had to endure to survive through that unsettling situation. Those spare stamps were like money and more valuable then any htinhs else during the depression of 1929. You can only hope that time will never happen again in our life times.
