Como Park Post adds $1 varieties to Ukraine set, issues oversize parcel stamp

I wrote last month about a set of 3¢, 5¢, and 50¢ stamps picturing the flag of Ukraine released by Como Park Post. The Minnesota-based local post released an additional $1 value April 13, two copies of which are pictured here.

Unlike the lower value stamps, the $1 stamps have “Ukraine” printed in gold instead of being printed in the same shade as the stamp’s frame. In addition, as shown, at least two different type sizes exist, one significantly wider than the other.

Como Park Post has also produced a separate $1 oversize parcel rate stamp. Unlike most of Como Park Post’s stamps, this one appears to have been produced using a printer rather than from a wooden block.

I’m not sure when the oversize parcel rate stamp was issued, but I received a copy in the same mailing that brought the $1 Ukraine stamps my way, so I can only presume it is a recent release.
