A multi-purpose thumb or finger mounted cot having a stamp pad with postal related indicia. Two embodiments of the cot are disclosed one of which is closed on its upper end while the other cot is opened on both ends. The postal related indicia on the self-inking stamp pad may consist of a carrier routing number and a plurality of parallel bar lines. This indicia is raised from a base pad surface with the bar lines used to endorse mail by postal carriers, to cancel stamps and wrong bar codes, wrong zip codes, and to cancel bar codes that have mistakenly not been canceled in the mailing process. The carrier routing number specifically identifies a postal carrier and can inform one of the route assigned to that carrier. By making the mating surfaces of the stamp pad (back) and cot (front) hook and loop or VELCRO fastener elements, the stamp pad can be removed and replaced with another stamp pad or have its ink supply refilled when needed. This replaced stamp pad may be that of any carrier with different indicia. Using the thumb or finger mounted stamp pad saves a considerable amount of time in processing mail since there is not need to look for or used separate hand held stamps.
