Very Scarce Vintage (1910-1930) US Poster Stamp Pennsylvania Board of Fish Commissioners "If You Would Catch More Fish...Kill Less MNHThis Uniquely Shaped Poster Stamp—Die-Cut In The Form Of A Fish—Was Issued By The Pennsylvania Board Of Fish Commissioners As Part Of A Conservation Campaign Promoting Responsible Angling. The Bold Slogan Across The Center Reads: “If You Would Catch More Fish, Kill Less!”, A Direct And Memorable Message Encouraging Fishermen To Practice Restraint In Harvesting To Ensure Sustainable Fish Populations. The Stamp Uses Gold And Black Printing On A Tan Background, With Emphasis Placed On The Word “Kill Less!” In Large Script. Below The Central Message, The Attribution “Penna. Board Of Fish Commissioners” Confirms Its Governmental Origin. Likely Produced Between The 1910s And 1930s—A Period When Conservation Messaging Became Increasingly Common In North American Fish And Wildlife Policy—This Stamp Would Have Been Distributed To Sportsmen, Fishing Clubs, Or Posted In Tackle Shops And License Offices As A Form Of Visual Outreach. Its Engaging Shape, Eye-Catching Design, And Public Service Message Make It A Notable Example Of Early American Environmental Awareness In Ephemera Form. No Major Flaws Are Visible Aside From Slight Edge Wear. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): If You Would Catch More Fish, Kill Less! Penna. Board Of Fish Commissioners.

Most Of The Poster Stamps And Cinderellas I Offer Are Truly Old Historic Treasures? Many Are Close To 100 Years Old Or More.

That's Especially True For Cinderella And Poster Stamps, So Please Take A Good Look At The Scans Because They're An Important Part Of The Description. Also, Please Note That The Backs Of Poster Stamps Are Typically Considered Much Less Important Than The Fronts, And Descriptions Can Be A Bit Subjective.
