      This page displays First Day Cover (FDC) and Event cachets created from 1962 to 1975 by Nicholas "Nick" George Koutroulis (1932-2018). These cachets are often referred to as "Masonic/Koutroulis Cachets" Based on address labels on his covers, he lived at various times in Dallas, TX, Kenner, LA, and New Orleans, LA. Except as noted by "{A}" (my personal collection), all other displays were found on the Web.

U.S. Scott #nnn = U.S. Scott Catalog number.
mm-dd-yyyy - First Day of Issue
   U.S. Scott #nnnn-nn = each cachet's Mellone Catalog number as published in
Mellone's Specialized Cachet Catalog of First Day Covers of the 1960's "New: 2006 Catalog Pricing Guidelines" (3 page PDF).

1. U.S. Scott #1339-33 -- 2-12-1968, p. 320 -- Nicholas G. Koutroulis #1 -- First Cachet --- {A}
   
2. U.S. Scott #1305 (NIM) -- 2-28-1968, unlisted -- Nicholas G. Koutroulis #2 --- {A}
         For some unexplained reason, Mellone did not list any cachets for #1209, #1213-1214, #1225, #1229, #1297-1299 or #1303-1305, so none of the FDC cachets for these issues have ever been cataloged.
