Cover from the USA!

Today I got a cool cover from the USA! The cover was sent from the Ochoppe Post Office, which is located in Ochopee, Florida. The post office is unique because it is the smallest post office in the USA. In fact, it only has room for one employee, its postmaster. It is a fully functioning post office that caters to the surrounding area. It was converted from a storage area to a post office in 1953 after a fire destroyed the previous post office. The post office has a special postmark which features its building.

Cover from Space!

Today I got a really cool cover from Space! The cover was made as a collaborative effort by the United States Postal Service and NASA. The cover was carried aboard STS-8, the eighth Space Shuttle flight. The cover is the first to feature postmarks indicating when it left for space and when it returned back to Earth. The postmark on the back of the cover shows where and when it returned, Edwards AFB on Sep. 5, 1983. The cover came with a very nice presentation folder with details about how the cover was made and the Space Shuttle flight itself.
