Mount Joy Stamp Club celebrates
borough’s 125 years with cachet
Mount Joy will celebrate
its 125th birthday on Febru-
ary 10.
On that date, the Mount
Joy Stamp Club will issue a
limited edition of 2000
commemorative cachets.
(A cachet is a fancy
envelope.)
The cachets, designed by
Stamp Club president Jee
Shaeffer and his wife,
Gracie, picture an early
Mount Joy post office, the
goed ship Mount Joy, and
an American flag. A card
with a brief history of Mount
Joy is included in each
cachet.
One thousand cachets will
be stamped and postmarked
Q 1851
at the pest office on
February 10. These will be
sold by the stamp club for 50
cents each.
Another 1000 cachets,
unpostmarked, will be sold
at 3 for a dollar.
According te Joe Shaef-
fer, the cachets will become
valuable in the future, since
only a limited number are
being issued.
Joe Shaeffer is a collector
of Mount Joy memorabilia.
His cellection includes
plates, banners, and other
items commemorating the
Mount Joy centennial cele-
bration in 1951.
