National Headquarters Type V Corner with Autographs FDC Boy Scout Stamp
06/30/50
Valley Forge, PA
Printed
Blue on blue #10 envelope
National Council, BSA
The autographs are identified as follows:
This remarkable cover was prepared by the addressee, August Howard. Howard is listed in the
1942 Annual Report as being on the Public Relations Committee of the Division of Program.
Over not less than a 26 year period, using then current National Council stationery from the 1930s,
he obtained, in order, the West, Beard, Fisher & Fretwell autographs across the bottom of the cover.
Beard wrote a very short message: "Here 'tis" above his name. In 1941, Beard passed away and in
1948, West. Howard, who was both patient and prescient, got his stamp issued in 1950 and prepared
his FDC which he had so carefully left a space for. The Schuck & Houghton autographs were obtained
about that time and finally, in 1960-1967 the Brunton & Barber autographs were added.
Thus, a unique FDC with autographs of the first eight leading professionals in Scouting.
