Cachet Display Catalog: FDC Cachetmakers Index -- Cachetmaker Photos

      This page lists possible new Cachetmaker pages I may create on this site someday. I have twenty (20) or more, up to several hundred different designs for each of these individual Cachetmakers or Cachet Lines for pages not created yet. I do not wish to conflict or compete with anyone who has published or plans to publish a Cachetmaker Catalog for any Cachetmaker on this list. At this time I do not know when any of these new pages will be created. (Note1) Please let me know if a conflict exists with any other author. Thank you.

      (nn) = as of 9-06-2023, the total number of scans in the 202 Cachetmaker directories listed below: (16,400)
      (N/A nn) = all scans for this Cachetmaker were saved in one or more of several thousand Scott Number directories, so if a total is shown, it is the number of cover scans displayed on my "@" Cachet Display page for them, otherwise, determining a total is not possible.

    220. World War II Patriotics (mostly not FDC's)
      As documented in:
      United States Patriotic Envelopes of World War II, 2nd ed. by Lawrence Sherman (2006)
      Out of the 11,060 listings in the book, I have only about 1,000 scans saved so far, with 590+ installed on my page:
    221. World War II Patriotics Sherman/Guthrie/Minkus/Linn Number Conversion (in Sherman # order)
    222. Sherman 2nd ed. Index by Cachetmaker, World War II Patriotics

    223. Plus those already installed at -- Huss (above) -- Minkus #1 -- Minkus #2 and MacArthur/Nimitz (Huss's and "Minkus #1" are in Sherman # order)

      Specific Patriotic Cachetmakers (in Sherman # order)
      American Art Service (AAS)
      W.B. Heckman
            From Evanston, IL, like Huss, who may have overprinted a VJ Day Huss cachet. Sherman identifies as Heckman's, one or more cachets I believe are Huss's. Like other World War II Patriotic Cachetmakers Huss and Minkus, so far I have not seen any Heckman design that was made for a specific new U.S. stamp issue.

      Note1: "At this time I do not know when any of these new pages will be created." As I am 83 years old, it is likely that I will not be able to create every page listed above. But my goal is to try to create as many as I can. I have left instructions with my family that, after I am gone, a copy of all of my hard drive files with their thousands of cover scans (both by Cachetmaker and by Scott Number) I have accumulated from the Web since 2018 and scans I have done of my own collection acquired since 1973 will be sent to the AFDCS Archives at the American Philatelic Research Library in Bellefonte, PA. FYI, as of 02-02-2022, the totals number of scans in my Cachetmaker directories was 13,500. I have no way of counting how many scans I have in several thousand Scott numbered directories. -- Sample Makers -- Sample Numbers
Updates:
09-06-2023: The total number of scans in all Cachetmaker directories above is 16,400.
