Review of World Local Post Day 2024 FDCs

It has been a couple of weeks since World Local Post Day, and several first day covers have shown up in my post office box since then.

The first to arrive was, quite naturally, one I mailed to myself. It bears a copy of my 20 Years of Philosateleian Post stamp issued January 29.

While I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate two decades of involvement in local posting, the official topic for World Local Post Day this year was dragons, and the other two covers I have to share with you both bear stamps sticking with that theme.

One of the covers is from New Hampshire’s Purgatory Post. The 24-sola stamp on it depicts a leftward-facing dragon along with the caption “Year of the Dragon.”

The final cover originated with Beverly Hills-based Bat’s Private Post. There are two stamps on the cover, one with a value of 78¢ and the other with a value of $1.65, both picturing dragons. The stamps are identical except for the face values and other wording.

And that wraps up the World Local Post Day covers I’ve received up to this point. If any further examples show up, I’ll be sure to share them here.
