 Buffleheads by Bruce Miller


Fred's Anecdotal Note


1993 NEW JERSEY


This MILFORD captures the many elements necessary to achieve a magnificent duck cover. The stamp has a bold, simple design showing a pair of buffleheads riding the gentle swells of coastal waves. It's a nice stamp. To meet post office requirements, I've added the meadow beauty wildflower. Both of these stamps are tied to the cover with a nice Mountain Lakes, NJ postmark.


In July my youngest son Ryan got a Labrador Retriever

puppy for his 14th Birthday. Because it followed him

everywhere and because of its black color, Ryan named him

Shadow. In this hand-painted MILFORD cachet, an inquisitive

"Shad" peers over a rock at a pair of buffleheads. As of yet, the ducks have not noticed his presence but soon will be startled by his youthful yips.


Serial numbers used were 11281 to 11520. Dedicated to Shadow's attentive master and companion, Ryan.
