EKKO stamps. Mixed condition collection (in a battered original EKKO company album) of over 250 different broadcasting station stamps. Many are pasted directly to the pages. Ekko stamps were produced in the mid-1920s as a way to promote and get feedback about early commercial radio stations. Also known as "Verified Reception Stamps", these were eventually used by over 700 different US, Canadian and sundry foreign stations. Some individual issues are quite scarce but I don't personally know much about these once insanely popular collectables from the nascent days of commercial radio. Includes documentation on these historically significant stamps. Estimate
