The following stamps are in letterboxes I placed on our 2001 vacation, something I call the "Mitten Tour" (because Michigan's lower peninsula is shaped like a mitten). We traveled the perimeter of the State of Michigan (lower and upper peninsulas) visiting family and friends, seeing Lakes Michigan, Superior, and Huron, seeing lighthouses(!), and placing letterboxes. I based this series of boxes on the state symbols of Michigan. Each stamp is no wider than 1.75 inches (so it will fit inside the kind of boxes I place). All were carved on Nasco Safety Kut.
