      NOW-NY Women's History Series -- This page lists the 183 known First Day Cover (FDC) cachets published by the National Organization of Women - New York City (N.O.W.-N.Y.) (aka NOW-NY or NOW-NYC) (Wikipedia) from 1976 (U.S. Scott #1699) through about 1981 which are in my personal collection "{A}", from the collection of Alan Martin "(AM)", and other scans I have found on the Web. The NOW-NY Treasurer, Judith Kaplan was the creator and designer of these cachets. "ca. 1981" ... I do not know what their "Last Cachet" was.

-- ? = As of 09-11-2024, out of the -- 183 -- known NOW-NY numbered cachets, the Scott Number or Event information is known for all, and the subject of the design is known for all except one, N.O.W.-N.Y. No. 178 -- U.S. Scott #U600.

For a list of all known to me (as of 8-26-2023) NOW-NY cachets in U.S. Scott Number order, see the FDC Cachetmakers Index page.
