Item Description
The Bufflehead Local Post really did start out as a working local post. Named after the Bufflehead Ducks that called the lake outside our studio their home, the BLP was created to carry my coworkers' mail to the Post Office which was several miles away.The Local Post Society observes the final Monday of every January as 'National/World Local Post Day' and encourages all Local Post Postmasters to issue a stamp on that day. A theme is offered every year for the design of these stamps.
In 2001 the theme was '2001 - The New Millenium' , and the Bufflehead Local Post chose to depict a scene from that iconic film, "2001: A Space Duck Oddyssey" , showing 'Dave' walking through the hallway of his space ship. This 5¢ BLP issue is postmarked with the BLP cancel on Jan. 29, 2001.
Two U.S. stamps - a plate number single of the 'Space Twin' with the astronaut, and a single of two spacefarers rocketing from the Space Fantasy issue of 1993, also postmarked on January 29 at Van Nuys, CA.
The cover comes with a stuffer explaining that this is the 7th issue of the BLP.
The Bufflehead Local Post is on hiatus as a working Local Post, but I have so many remaining stamps that - should you win this lot - will grace the envelope in which I send it to you!
