ID For 1930's FDC Cachets

Maybe this is an easy question for someone with a FDC catalog, but I've searched the internet and haven't come up with any detail on the cachets on these two items.

The first one is Presidential Series Booklet Pane Combo on #10 envelope with a version of the Great Seal of U.S. cachet. It has no identification that I can see, except that in the center of the star is the logo for the United States Post Office Department. Did the post office issue a cachet for the Presidential Series? Or is it one of the generic ones of the day?



This second item does have a name "(c) 1935 C.S. Anderson". (C. Stephen Anderson, I assume). It seems generic to me and a little futuristic for 1935. Unlike today when a special cachet is produced for every stamp, I gather that it was commonplace in the 1930's for generic cachets to be printed and used by collectors on multiple issues.



Any comments would be welcome.

Wouldn't you know..i have Mellones cachet catalog for 1933-34 and then for 1940 to 1947..and those two fall between the cracks..if I can help any one for the years I have..let me know !

For anyone interested, I was searching the internet and came up with someone selling similar cachet to cover #2. It was identified as a "Planty #3 Anderson Cachet in Black".

I'm still looking for cachetmaker for cover #1, though (Prexie booklets).

A VERY LATE response (!), but the first is Fidelity, P06a, and two variations with text (6b,6c). For the Electric Eye version, "ELECTRIC EYE" was added below the eagle. Cachet color would normally follow the color of the stamp.

Thanks. I thought my question was lost! I appreciate the answer even now. I have three of those covers, all of which the cachet appears to be purple in color.

I'm glad this was resurrected. That second cover is interesting. The spacey cachet is quite incongruous for the Fort Dearborn stamp, don't you think?

I agree! The second cover seems quite out of place for the mid-1930's, regardless of what stamp was on the cover and certainly a Fort Dearborn stamp seems inappropriate for such a futuristic looking cachet.

With the cross-gutter block, would not the Fort Dearborn Stamp be one of the Farley issues? Perhaps someone who knows more than I can answer the question of FDC's of Farleys. Were there "first days" of the Farley issues.

Yes, that is a Scott 766 (Farley Printing Cross Gutter Block) on the second image scanned. All of the Farleys had a first day of issue of March 15, 1935.
