BINKEL COUNTY MISSIONARY STAMPS
Scarabeus Binkel, the mayor of Binkeltown in Binkel County, once set off to sea to explore the far off Barbaru Coast, and seek his fortune. It so happened that he disappeared in this endeavor.
Subsequently, back home, Itchy Holler Missionary Radio established a Rescue Mission to retrieve Binkel. The above cover shows how they were trying to garner supplies for the mission.
Special Missionary stamps were issued by the county. Some had lottery tickets affixed to them. Others included tickets to concerts or sales items for things about the county. LOL
