Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.
 

 
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the classification types for all postmarks based on the Locy System.

Note: "The device from which this postmark was produced was later obtained by a cover dealer and used to produce hundreds of fake covers. Genuine covers are censored, postally used, with a mimeograph cachet and either sent free or with a 6¢ airmail stamp. Fake covers usually have 3¢ commemorative stamps, colored printed cachets, and no address or censor mark. Covers with the 9efu and "TOKYO/BAY" or "NAVY/DAY" as killers are also believed to be fake products of the same dealer." (USCS Postmark Catalog, 1997)
