Vintage Black Gold Savings Stamp Redemption Book

Black Gold Stamps were a type of trading stamp offered by participating businesses, particularly in the Houston, TX area. Customers would receive these stamps with their purchases and collect them in redemption books like the one. Once a book was filled, it could be exchanged for merchandise or discounts at cooperating stores. This system of trading stamps, where customers earned stamps based on purchases to redeem for goods, was a popular marketing strategy in the mid-20th century. Black Gold Stamps, like other trading stamp programs, aimed to encourage customer loyalty to businesses that participated in the program.
