As promised here are the pictures of the cover. As you can see there is some damage to the Confederate Veterans stamp.

Hi Rick.....

You're right about the handstamp, Post Offices in the nearest 3 towns are very small. Liberty PO is so small it is only about 100 square feet....actually inside the bank ! There's only 89 people in Liberty....about 120 in Burchard.....Barnston has about 60 but lost their PO a few years ago due to lack of use.

A shame about the damaged one.....even so, I bet your boys like the cover.
