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.   |
