We found this sign on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope. If “Plaid Stamps” have any meaning to you, we hate to break it to you, but you are not a twentysomething and they will know it without even looking at you.

Oh .Nevermind. It was like S & H Green Stamps and only people over 20, rather over 40 will know it and any young person will look at us and see that we are old. Gee, thanks, Bob.

Mom brought home both plaid stamps and S&H green stamps. We pasted them in books and, after a few years, got some tacky gift. Think of them as frequent buyer points from the 50s and 60s.

I know what King Korn Stamps are not because I used them, but because there were old metal signs hung up on the side of a building on Brighton Beach for decades.

I have a Plaid Stamp lighted sign. Double sided with 3 HO- fluorescent bulbs. It’s about 5′ long and 3′ high… I would love to sell it… I have had the sign for 24 years. It was in the garage in a house I bought in 1984 in Waco, Texas. I now live in Las Vegas, NV. Email me if you would like to buy it or know someone who would. kellisony@hot1.net
