Como Park Post issues first stamp of 2025

Minnesota’s Como Park Post was quick out of the gate in 2025, issuing what had to be one of if not the first local post stamp of the new year January 4.

Como Park’s operator creates the woodcut dies from which he prints his stamps by hand. In thise case, I’mt not entirely certain what the stamp’s face value is. It looks very much like there is a “5” in the lower left corner, but if that’s the case, what are the characters in the other corners of the stamp? I’m not sure.

If you’re interested in this sort of thing, don’t forget that Philosateleian Post’s new stamp commemorating the National Monument to the Forefathers is due out January 27, which is World Local Post Day.
