Tuesday Treasures - August 4, 2026

Some more ephemera from St. Vincent de Paul. 

Four still sealed packets of themed stamps.  The $1.49 stickers are the old original ones, I paid $1.25 each. San Antonio Hobby was not a store in Texas, it was in Mountain View, CA.  The stamp sets were put together by Treat Co. in Fullerton, CA.   1965-1970s packet dates, when Treat Co. emphasized educational stamps.

Some money was had during the 1/2 collectibles sale in June.

1894 20 Centesimi from Italy, 50¢

One Centavo note issued by Japan for use in the Philippines when under Japanese occupation (1942-1945).  The local nickname was Mickey Mouse money, as inflation made it nearly worthless.  50¢

Brazilian 100 Cruzeiras from 1981-1984, with mirrored images of the Duke of Caxias and a battle scene overlaid with swords. 25¢

German Reichsbanknote of one million marks, issued July 25, 1923 in Berlin.  Later in the year it was barely enough for a loaf of bread.  It was redeemable until 9-1-23, then withdrawn.  $1.50  hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic

Next week has the last of the 1/2 off sale.
