Shamrocks, harp on postmarks for St. Patrick’s Day

Postmark Pursuit by Molly Goad

If you collect St. Patrick’s Day postmarks, one to seek is the Nebraska cancel with shamrocks and greenery pictured here.

The postmark is sponsored by the Holt County Historical Society located in the Moses P. Kinkaid Law Office Museum in O’Neill, Neb.

A pictorial postmark from Ireland, W.Va., (not shown) featuring a sketch of a harp is also available.
