How's your STAMPWANTS 'recall'? ••• A FREE COVER to those of you with great memories!
I miss the camaraderie of the old STAMPWANTS gang!
I recently came across a bunch of old drawings that I had done for the STAMPWANTS Forum back when we were all toying with the idea of creating a StampWants Mascot! Any of you remember that little exercise?
One of the nearly 30 animals and other characters that were suggested as candidates happened to be a SHARK . . . so I put that artwork on an envelope, franked it with one of the recent shark stamps, and serviced it at the recent AmeriCover convention of the AFDCS in Cleveland, Ohio (my hometown!).
I'll send one of these covers - FREE!- to the FIRST FIVE old-time StampWanters who can each name TWO of the different mascot proposals that I drew up back in 2008 based on your suggestions! (You aren't allowed to merely restate a mascot from a previous winning guess).
Just name two of the animals or characters that were suggested and drawn up! For each pair of winning mascot guesses you post here you'll win this FREE COVER (retail value: a smile) and I'll post the original images of the two mascots in your winning guess from all those years ago!
Guess early . . . guess often!
Good Luck!

Phlat Stampley. Dave, you also had a cute airplane much like the "Inverted Jenny"
CONGRATULATIONS!
Or the mouse on the cover for the Traveling Mousepad Worldwide Tour?
But as far as I can find, there was no actual mouse.
Keep guessing!
As far as I go, I wasn't part of that discussion. Purrrrf and I have chatted and I'll make another guess ... knowing how much you like Puffins, was it a puffin?
For the most part, the Mascot suggestions were not mine, but were the suggestions of other Forum members.
But a Puffin would have been a neat possibility!
There was indeed an Eagle! Here he is, talking to another mascot, who I have cropped out.
Keep guessing! . . or remembering!
Wow, I seriously have no recollection at all. Must have been during those crazy times in the 70's or something. Ugh... coming up completely blank on this one.
Try a little harder -- two of the weirdest and funniest suggestions were actually made by you!
The Eagle was indeed talking to a Lion! I'm amazed you remember that particular set-up! I'm not sure I would have even remembered it if I hadn't seen it recently!
Combined with your earlier Kitty guess, that makes you a winner! CONGRATULATION, LUREE!
How about a woodpecker?
He actually appeared twice in the StampWants Forum, but I can't show you the color version without revealing a few of the other mascot proposals!
Combined with you Eagle entry, this makes you WINNER #3, Dave!! CONGRATULATIONS!
