Do you remember the school savings stamps? You had a card (blue I think) with squares printed inside and you had to stick your stamps into them.
Any pics anyone?

Hi brummie nick, This was in 1970, I think. I remember our maths teacher Mr Fred Potter used to run the the school bank during lunch time weekly and I did saved a pound and opened a bank account. I cashed it in 5 years later at the TSB. The interest was almost nil.The cards I remember were for the old Birmingham Municipal Bank, when you'd saved a pound you could open a bank account.
No Pics though. Nick
There was also a Princess Ann stamp. I was saving them at Alston Rd Junior School. I went on to have a Municipal Bank account later. My Mother had a saving tin? from the bank that she called her tank.It was always kept under the sideboard along with her old green handbag that contained important papers.I remember buying the stamps at school to go on a card, or it might have been a small, thin book not sure. The stamps I remember had Prince Charles on them, brown and blue coloured stamps I think. Don’t actually remember getting the money when they were cashed in. The money might well have gone towards something practical, so wasn’t memorable for me ! Thinking about it, mine too probably went to open a bank account. Viv.
Yes I do remember the savings stamps. I loved to fill the page up, think we had them at Ingleton Road School Ward End. Happy memories if that school.Do you remember the school savings stamps? You had a card (blue I think) with squares printed inside and you had to stick your stamps into them.

Had a book with saving stamps but i cashed them in for some accessories for my Action Man . Could not resist. This was back in the mid 60s.I seem to remember the amount in the book was credited to your PO savings book account
