It always continues to amaze me how many cinderellas are out there. This one puzzled me a bit with the "OES" initials but later identified it as "Ohio Eastern Star Home", essentially a home for the aged in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

Never thought such a facility would go for issuing "stamps" but I guess it was probably a fund raiser of some sort back in 1977.

Could that also be related to the Order of the Eastern Star?

Exactly correct. Check out this link:

Note their organization supports a number of different programs, many of which have (or have had) their own cinderella stamps (and a number of those have been posted earlier on SCF) such as Shriner's Hospital, Knights Templar Eye Foundation, etc.

wt1,
Many rest homes issued these type of stamps. Here are a few examples all from the British Columbia, Canada area.
