The talented artists that created these colourful covers are: A.J.PEAKE (12), ARTHUR WOOD (160), BLAKE JAMES (2), BERHHARD GOLDBERG (3), CARLL RUETH (1), CLIFFORDE W. WILLS (1), DOROTHY KNAPP (9), DOROTHY SHARPE (3), DAVID “C” CACHET (34), D.S.ROSE (12), E. W. ECKLUND (2), F. D. GEERLING (1), G. F.

FOX (1), NE NE 1955 (1), POLLY BERNDT’S (4), RALPH DYER (79), ROBERT BOLTON (2), ROBERT SALAMON (2), ROBERT BLACK SET 1952 (1), ROBERT B. PRISTAS (18), R S 1969 (1), ROBERT (BOB) BUGDEN (12), R.

WRIGHT (1), WALTER STAURRUSZEWSKI (1), UNKNOWN A (2), UNKNOWN 1947 B (2), UMKNOWN 1955 C (1), UNKNOWN RECREATION D (1), and MISC. A M BURNS FROM BANCROFT (11). Many of these items were purchased at more that $1,000 each, many more for several hundred dollars each, and a good proportion of this material is rarely seen, if even offered on the market. Many of the cachet makers were written about by the owner in “First Impressions” the newsletter of the BNAPS First Day Cover Study Group, and copies of these articles accompany the related sections. A complete list is included, and all covers have been scanned on our website. A unique opportunity to acquire such an extensive collection, as we are fairly certain this occasion will not present itself again for a long time, if ever. Very fine quality throughout. Rsv. $22,000. (Image)
