04/22/32

Nebraska City, NE

Printed corner card in Black, red, white, blue & gold.

Printed generic "Eagle - Shield - Capital" cachet in Red.

W. Arthur McKinney

The addressee, W. Arthur McKinney, a professional Scouter, later became Stamp Editor of Boys' Life, a founder of SOSSI, and the "Special Assistant to the Chief Scout Executive".

These covers were prepared in two steps.   McKinney sent self addressed corner stationery to the

Nebraska City Postmaster for First Day processing & he had the generic cachet applied to the covers

before (or after) they were mailed.

#U436 stamped #10 envelope

National Council, BSA made this rubber stamp available nationwide.

This example is on Chickasaw Council, Memphis, TN, corner card rubber stamped in black.

Other known examples are from 02/08/33 Dayton, OH; 02/13/33 Olney, IL, & 04/10/33 Los Angeles, CA.

Very few of these covers seem to have survived.   Ironically, its usage by "Stamp Tongs of Astoria"

on 33-1 remains the second most common pre 1948 US Scout cover.

Corrections to 33-2:   Change sponsor from "Tongs of Astoria" to "Stamp Tongs of Astoria"

Add to 33-2:   All covers are numbered on back. The sequence used on 33-1 is continued and a number 3846 is known. About 50-100 made.

The signature of Arthur Sutz, ASM of Troop 53, Queens Council, is associated with the 33-1 cachet.  Sutz was, or was at least associated with, Stamp Tongs of Astoria. Astoria and Long Island City (a cancel location on some of the 33-1 cachet covers) are contiguous communities in the Boro of Queens in New York City.  Sutz's Troop 53 was in Ridgewood, still another community in Queens.  Finally, on the back of these covers, the numbering sequence is continued from 33-1 and 33-2; these being from 3900 to 3905.
