Scarce Unofficial "Army Frank" Stamps
Back during the Spanish-American War era, a creative US Army major combined his military service with his passion for stamps, crafting an interesting postal keepsake. Known as the Army Frank, this look-alike of the US #116 stamp was intended simply to decorate the free mail soldiers sent home – not to deceive postal authorities.
But the Post Office wasn’t amused, and quickly put an end to the major’s project, making these unusual stamps a quirky footnote in postal history.
