One of the more popular postal history collecting interests are cancels that show County Names and/or Postmaster Names.
Vermont postal historian Bill Lizotte did a recap of all such Vermont cancels in the August 2009 issue of The Vermont Philatelist. In his listing Brookfield (Orange County) is one of the rarer examples from Vermont. Yesterday at the Stamp Show in Quechee, I purchased the above Return Registered-Letter Receipt. This is the only example of this postmark known. It was originally reported in The Vermont Philatelist in August 1970. As a matter of fact, lightly penciled on the back of the receipt is a notation that the example is unique and had been reported to the VPS.
This item fits into 2 of my collecting interests: County/Postmaster cancels as well as Star Cancels.
If you interested in County/Postmaster cancels, the Vermont Philatelic Society website has a complete recap of all the current information: http://www.vermontps.org/CountyPostmaster/VTCountyPostmaster.html
