Bits and bobs

There are just of couple more items to round off a Koom Valley thematic stamp collection.

A $1 Koom Valley Clacks Post Paid stamp was issued in the Year of the Happy Goose. These were an LBE only issue, but a lucky few won complete sheets of 21 stamps as prizes. There was a sport of this stamp with an axe buried into the clacks mechanism. After the events of Thud! a permanent presence and link to Ankh-Morpork was required.

Finally here is the Nibbled By Marine Creatures cover that was the final (and slightly rarest) in a GCTS series based on Moist’s inadvertent apology to Vetinari at the beginning of Making Money.

They were stamped with a ten-pence Koom Valley stamp. The significance of the stamp is revealed when you read the letter from the Patriotic Women’s Association enclosed. While those balaclavas might provide warmth to the watchmen on cold Koom Valley night, I am sure they never paraded around Ankh-Morpork in them on their return to the city,
