The Engraver makes a Change!

The Engraver has decided to keep the interest up in the CT State Stamp Series by giving all of letterboxingdom 1 year from today to complete this 8 county series.

All boxers who complete the series, after emailing or mailing proof of the 8 county stamps to us, will be listed on our CT Stamp Hall of Fame page. After the year has expired, 10 lucky letterboxers' names will be drawn and they will receive a personalized gift from The Engraver! The year will be culminated with the CT State Stamp Series Gathering, which will take place some time next summer after the 6/15/05 expiration date.

Thanks to The Engraver for this great series and pushing the envelope one more time!

What is Letterboxing?
Letterboxing enthusiasts hide and hunt weatherproof containers in remote or scenic places. Each container holds a logbook, a rubber stamp and stamp pad. The planter of the letterbox distributes clues to it's location via the internet, Word of Mouth, on websites or via other means. Clues can be easy to difficult. Finding a letterbox may require a combination of skills such as mapreading, orienteering, and puzzle-solving.

Letterboxers carry their own logbook and personal stamp when hunting for hidden boxes. Upon finding a letterbox, they will imprint their own logbook using the found stamp, and leave their own stamping or personalization in the letterbox's logbook. Some artistic letterboxers carve and even design their own stamps and logbooks. Letterboxes are hidden in various locations throughout the world.

Letterboxing has its beginnings in Dartmoor National Park in England, where the first letterbox at Cranmere Pool was placed in 1854 by a Dartmoor guide named James Perrott, who left his calling card in a container there while guiding tourists through Dartmoor.
