Background: |
Postmaster Susan Langley says the picture postmark is free. “We will apply the postmark on any envelope that has proper postage, making it a first class souvenir of the day.” “It's a postmark that is more than circles and bars,” says Postmaster Langley. "It is a picture that tells a story." The postmark shows a wheel of cheese and commemorates Mr. Sherburne’s 60 years at Calef’s. People may obtain the postmark in person at the Post Office. If you miss the Post Office hours, but wish to obtain the postmark, you may submit a mail order request. Pictorial postmarks are available only with the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial postmark date. Customers wishing to obtain a postmark should affix First-Class Mail postage to any envelope or postcard, address the envelope or postcard and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to Postmaster, followed by Barrington Post Office, 15 Mallego Rd. Barrington, NH 03825. |
