I've posted a few of these associated with the Iwo Jima stamp (Scott 929; Jul 11, 1945) in the topical category -- rather than reposting them, they may be viewed here. Here is one addressing Japanese concern over agreements reached at the Potsdam Conference (July 17 - August 2, 1945). The stamp on this cover is the 3 cent Iwo Jima stamp cited above.  |

An Artcraft patriotic cover addressed to the Washington Stamp Exchange, which was the producer of Artcraft cachets (later as The Washington Press). It has an APO postmark and a rubber-stamped censor mark.  |

Speaking of Minkus, here are two of the cachets from that packet, each franked with my favorite stamp.   Here is another Minkus, perhaps from a different packet of cacheted covers.  |

Here is another Minkus cachet from de61's post. This one looks like it was a commercial usage. I believe I have seen Cheerio Fireside Service identified as a mail order stamp dealer.

While going through my collection of Minkus FDCs, I realized Minkus had also created a series of patriotic cachets prior to the United States' direct involvement in World War II. These patriotic FDCs focused on defense, freedom, and the American way of life.   |

I collect patriotic covers sold by Porto Server of Chicago, Illinois during WW II. All of the designs are based on an armed service member attempting to distribute mail to and from soldiers and sailors of the Army, Navy and Army Air Force. To date, I have not seen one representing the Marine Corps or Coast Guard. So far, I have collected 17 different designs, but don't know how many designs were sold. A checklist would be nice, but have not yet found one. Anyone else collect these?
Here's my most recent acquisition. Don StampHinger  |
