Baked pies as Mail Art sounds good. Is it legal?

[Richard Canard]

19.08.14 Dare Thomas Brown ...I once was priviledged to spend several months working at the western nawf karolinah mail distribution center in  Asheville (back in the late 60's)...mostly loading & unloading trucks...there were actually a few instances in which I helped process my own mail... Generally speaking, the average postal worker could care less about the particulars of an envelope & is only concerned about getting the mountains of mail simply shuffled from one place to another ... getting the job done & going home. & although  I never really discussed my interest in correspondence art at the shop  as it was my impression that any oddity or non-standard piece of mail was usually considered to be  more of a nuisance  than anything else. ( Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule  & I certainly would not dare to  speak for thousands of postal workers ). Incidentally & at that particular time...the" Pop"  tv series of" Batman" had just made it's appearance & consequently Batman at Bat Cave, North Carolina was getting all kinds of mail....& the Reverend Doctor Billy Graham seemed to be getting a lot of baked pies via Parcel Post from little old ladies across the country. Best to You. Richard Canard

Putin and Romney stamps??? haha. I wonder if the postal workers get a laugh from these stamps or if they just get confused if it's a real stamp or not.
