Do you remember "Savings Stamps"? You bought them at the Post Office and pasted them into a book (like Green Stamps).

No, can't say I ever encountered them. Wikipedia says that "postal savings stamps" were introduced in the U.S. in 1911, but I'm unclear about their purpose and how they worked. Were they still in use after 1950?
