This is a Masonic counterstamp. It's called The Order of the Eastern Star. It has the star with an offset hexagon in the middle. Kind of like a hexagram.

I recently purchased a small lot of LMC counterstamps that came with their original envelopes. There is a set of several sports themed stamps from the 1970s of which 3 were represented telling me that they came from the Littleton Coin Company. As well as an original Kennedy counterstamp. I now wonder how many of the stamps from the 60s and 70s might have originated from Littleton. Time to see if I can find an old Littleton Coin Company catalog on ebay.

Here is a Basketball stamp that I wasn't aware was part of the sports set...

Nice counterstamps on the 1919 LWC and the IH cent...Masonic counterstamps could be a big sub-category in its own right. Probably not as big an organization now as back then.

Very nice!

Not an interstate sign, but a US Highway sign.

I am going to say this one is for US Route 59.

I remember as a kid subscribing to Littleton's approval program and getting the counter-stamped coins.

Do you recall where you saw the adds or how you came to know about Littleton in the first place?
