As a collaborative project, Dan and I are presenting a postmark calendar for all 366 possible days of the year, represented by interesting appropriate date cancellation stamps from the Kimble collection.
We are publishing, during 2017, a monthly blog post with the date postmarks for that month for everyone's enjoyment.
The introduction, dedication, and links to the other months that have been published, is included with the January post.
