Cachet Maker Alvin Eckert
Cachets should be listed in chronological order based on earliest known usage. Use
the postmark date or best guess. This applies to add-on cachets as well.

Notes: From Al Eckert: "When the shipyard closed we were looking for a good cachet design and I suggested the USS Scamp design with the long row of industrial buildings, just like it appears in real life from across the Napa River. We left room for the pictorial postmark on the upper left."
From Bob Rawlins: "[The cachet] was not sponsored by Saginaw Chapter. The Saginaw Chapter cover is #116 on the master list and is different from the [one on this cover]."
Ray Costa's name is on the back of the cover but I am not sure what, if any, significance this has.
