Diane....exactly! I got luckier, living near the warranttee center for Zenith TV's. People would ship them in for repairs in CRATES.....festooned with $1, $2, & $5 stamps....blocks of them! I still have a strip of 6 used $5 Hamiltons, complete with plate # selvage....on a corrugated box address panel. Now THERE is a "modern" stamp thingie (early 1950's) worth some scratch!
I got all these by age ten. Riding my bike down to their dumpsters, and hurling myself inside to root around. Finally a manager snagged me by the ear, called my parents....and poof....there went that honey hole. :o(
