I don't run across very many postally used stamps from the Cook islands so I would like to give this bit of ragged paper it's own page.

Need help with the postmark. It's a straight line with the letters ? UKET ? or CKET It does not match any village postmark that I can find.

I was guessing that it might be Bucket Mail. I have no idea what Bucket mail is? Maybe the word Ticket? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You very much Pagoda. That makes perfect sense and I plan to use it in my little write up.

Bucket or Ticket! What was I drinking when I thought of those words?

I really appreciate it.
