Covers from M W Beck's
personal collection
Mr. Beck sent numerous covers to ships for postmarks
for his personal collection.
These are easy to spot because he preprinted or wrote his mailing address on the
covers.
This cover is not a Beck printed cover. It is a
Captain's Cover printed by the ship.
It is interesting to note that Mr. Beck's address is printed. This
means that Mr. Beck sent his blank envelope
to the ship for printing. The ship printed the cachet, postmarked the
cover and put the
cover in the mail. If anyone has a newspaper article giving collectors
instructions please
send us a scan.

This cover really looks like a Beck creation, but we are not sure.
The two scans above are courtesy of Art Cole. These
scans are
from Beck's personal collection. The cover was handled by
Donald Graf. Added 10/2018

The cachet and return
card on this cover was applied by
the ship and the cover was postmarked in Charleston,
SC. Keep in mind that modern subs had rubber stamp
cachets but they didn't have a post office on board the sub.
That is why you see sub covers postmarked at a
port or on another ship.

Dr. Ross Smith sent us scans of some Mercury covers
that have the printed address of Morris Beck. We
believe that the cachet shown below was designed and
serviced by/for Donald Schultz. We don't know for sure
if the US Navy had copies of the cachet rubber stamp to
apply to covers.
The Schultz cachet is on the back of the cover. So
when was Schultz's cachet applied to the cover and
who applied it?

Steve Durst sent us this scan of a Mercury manned
space flight recovery cover with a printed address to
Morris Beck. This cover has the ships rubber stamp
cachet. Mr. Beck did not print a cachet for the
recovery ship, USS Kearsarge, but he did print cachets
for three secondary ships.

Some of these covers have Martin Longseth's name stamped
on the reverse of the cover.
We believe that Martin stamped his name because the cover was in his
collection at some time.
