NASA Local Post Cancels
From the first issue, M-1-NLP, released on February 20, 1967, to the Private Express Mail Booklet series, NASA Local Post has used three different cancels in several colors. Space City Cover Society and the Space City Courier Service held the Houston Texas Mailer’s Postmark Permit (MPP) #1. A Mailer's Postmark Permit is a cancellation applied by a mailer to a piece of mail before depositing it with the USPS for mailing.
Cancel 1 featuring an Apollo Command Module heading into Earth orbit over the State of Texas has been found in six colors: Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Purple and Red.
Cancel 1A is similar to Cancel 1 but the date stamp uses a larger type font. Found in Black and Blue ink and was first seen on covers for A-21-NLP-FDC. Also found on all PEM covers.
Cancel 2 featuring a rocket orbiting the Earth has been found in six colors: Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Purple and Red.
Cancel 3 featuring the Space Shuttle Orbiter has been found in five colors: Black, Blue, Green,
Purple and Red.
