Cachet Or Postage?

Anyone ever see a postal label such as this?
I found this in a box of stamp I purchased when I was 15, over 21 years ago. I thought it would be interesting to post and get everyone's reaction, comments and possibly see if any other examples are out there.

It's a semipostal,
I wonder what the 5c donation was to?
Doc's benevolent fund?

Nice Label.

A local post can have 5 subheadings
Local Public
Local National
Local Private
Local Railways
Local Airways

I would hazard a guess yours would lie under Locals-Bogus
It is not in any lists I have of Local Postage.
Happy to stand corrected.

Doc's Local Post is operated by R. E. Nichol, is an Oregon-based local post

How is cachet different to sticker?
Is this real and is this a stamp?

Since it's Oregon, this local "might" pay a boatman who carries mail out to various residential islands in the extreme northwest corner of the state. Just a guess.

There are hundreds if not thousands of "locals" out there, some paying for a legitimate service, some simply money-makers; all you need is a computer or a copy machine.

Mr Zip was phased out by the late 1970s, and the USPS retained rights to the copyrighted figure. So how can a local use Mr. Zips image or likness on Their labels?

The icon was used in a rather jolly, benign fashion,
I don't think USPS would be threatened by a few well meaning labels.
Moreover, it assists in the USPS standing in the community.
(No grumpy anti USPS retorts welcomed)

So not government, nor postal authority then.
Not really stamps as collected by we timbrophiles?

Ah! Zee,
not government
nor postal authority
But! collected by us timbrophiles,
Some of us, who shall remain unnamed, collect anything that passes our desktop,
It is the "collecting gene" that directs us in this fashion.

The labels shown would be collected by Cinderella collectors
sub heading locals~bogus.
Never throw anything out that arrives in your stamp purchases,
there will be a collector somewhere drooling over what you may think as rubbish.

There are collectors that collect the printed "place your stamp here" squares
on the back of postcards.
