I will have to do some research on them. I do remember people giving them as gifts, especially when children were born. I'd be curious to see what kind of return they give now.

My mother always called them war bonds. I still have some to distribute to her grandchildren that she had bought for them when they were young. When I first started working for the gov't you could go on an automatic savings program and one would come with your bi-weekly paycheck. In 7 years a $25.00 bond would be worth $50.00 back than. I never bothered. It would have been one more thing for me to keep up with and I was poor as a church mouse and needed the $25.00!Galestormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09561727439124466050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-59738600233954426202014-12-28T14:43:38.788-06:002014-12-28T14:43:38.788-06:00Love the vintage poster!

I don't know any of the other peculiars, just that she told me so. She was only 26 when she cashed in the bonds. There was some sort of bond where a person bought a ten-cent stamp and put it in a folder when I was a child. I believe it was some sort of bond.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-47408831602880341672014-12-28T12:02:33.183-06:002014-12-28T12:02:33.183-06:001st Man,

When my son was just a baby, we were given several bonds each in the domination of $100. These bonds were help for over 10 years, then cashed in by our son. If these bonds are considered war bonds ...then I guess you can still buy them.
