Cachet Display Catalog: FDC Cachetmakers Index

      This page displays First Day Covers (FDC) created and serviced on General Purpose cachets from 1936 to about 1970 by Michael "Mickey" Paul Alogna (1906-2005) of Hartford, CT. Mickey Alogna was employed by the following four companies during this time period (Obituary). There is no proof, yet, that he designed and printed the General Purpose cachets displayed on this page, but he signed all known fillers. Also, no information has been found that anyone else was involved in the production of these covers.
      Storrs & Bement Co., Hartford, CT (1936-1945)
      Green & Low Paper Co., Hartford, CT (1948-1955)
      Henry Lindenmeyr & Sons, Hartford, CT (1958)
      Lindenmeyr Paper Corp., Hartford, CT (1958-1970)
Dates are approximate because corner cards, cachets and signed fillers for every serviced Scott number between #784 and #1409 (1936-1970) have not been reported yet.

What's New on this page -- changes since 07-01-2022:
02-27-2026: Added 19 new Scott numbers (not all have scans): #802 -- #813 -- #827 -- #836-GP28 -- #837-GP11 -- #853-118 -- #855 -- #861 -- #871 -- #881 -- #886 -- #898 -- #901 -- #926 -- #932 -- #986 -- #1100 -- #1382 -- #1384
06-30-2024:
      Added #973, the "Type" numbers for the GP crops at the top of the page, and started converting this page from "Servicer" to "Cachetmaker". Further research has found no proof that he designed and printed the cachets. What I did NOT find, was that anybody else was involved in the production of these FDCs over the 32 years and 4 different paper companies where Mickey Alogna was employed.
