Halloween is approaching....owl...Frankenstein...color orange...and kumquats, too?

Cut-out from an index card, with an owl stamp and pictorial postmark from FRANKENSTEIN, MO  65016


The kumquats look like oranges, and the main subject of the stamp (Year of the Hare) is  belittled [!] as a small  drawing of a hare, barely visible, on the left side of the stamp. Pictorial postmark from Los Angeles, CA 90012, perfectly visible on the matte, folded card  - which  I can postcardize anytime, should I want.

The kumquats look like oranges, and the main subject of the stamp (Year of the Hare) is  belittled [!] as a small  drawing of a hare, barely visible, on the left side of the stamp. Pictorial postmark from West Nyack, NY 10994, perfectly visible on the matte, folded card  - which  I can postcardize anytime, should I want. I never heard of West Nyack before - have you? See how a simple, nice postmark can "put a locality on the map" for you, and many others?


See my previous blogpost about the differences between RABBITS and HARES:

    Would that be HARE-splitting, Dorin? I too wondered why they didn't depict the hare, but then - we have little to say about stamp subjects. They (USPS) just recently announced that you don't have to be dead for ten or even five years to be considered suitable subject matter for a stamp.

    We still have a chance, Dorin!
