A fine selection of covers, I especially like the chicken stamp.
ReplyDeleteI like to see stamps with the farm theme, rather than just animals. However, the cow cover makes me jealous...
ReplyDeleteOh, and the vintage chicken is really original!
What a great election of farming in America. I like the theme of Future Farmers with the vista from the hill and the cute boy in the wheat field.
ReplyDeleteThe Nebraska statehood stamp featuring a cow and corn made me laugh for some reason :)
ReplyDeleteYou have hit the jackpot with this fine selection. The beef cow is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great selection of covers. These are before my time so I am not familiar with them. Love the "Big finish."
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating.
He farmer sowing seed looks very biblical! My favourite though would be the chicken.
ReplyDeleteA fine set of covers here; that future farmers one is particularly attractive.
