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.


Elbert I. Hannaford (1892-1956), USCS #370. Lived in Portland, Oregon and was the original finance officer for the Battleship Oregon Chapter #22, and was president in 1937. He worked as a draftsman for the city, and in the 1940’s moved to Longview, Washington. Hannaford did the artwork for the 1934 Thanksgiving cachet, and probably also did some of the other early chapter cachets. (research by Lloyd Ferrell)
