Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I got the Engine, well actually my family got the engine and they FaceTimed me opening the box.  The seller sent me the top of the box that had stamps on it.  Pretty cool stamps - though I wished the seller had sent the whole box.

Stamp 1:
A "Win the War" 3-cent stamp (Scott #905) from the United States, issued in 1942. The "FRAMINGHAM MASS." text is a town name cancel (precancel) specific to Framingham, Massachusetts.

Stamp 2:
A 5-cent James Monroe stamp from the 1938 Presidential Series (Scott #810), featuring a "precancel" postmark from Framingham, Massachusetts. The stamp depicts the fifth U.S. president, James Monroe, who served from 1817 to 1825.

Precanceled Stamps are for bulk shippers, so perhaps the box was original.
