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.


NORTH BAY STAMP CLUB (1932-36)
Similar to a Type 3 postmark, but distinctively different. Manufactured from a rubber gasket by Roy H. Sherman, secretary of the North Bay Stamp Club in Vallejo, Calif. It had slots at the bottom into which rubber letters could be inserted to spell the name of a ship. Used on sixteen different ships, mostly in 1932 and 1933, but occasionally up until 1936.
There are two slightly different varieties of this cancel: (CD-1) letters spaced far from the circle of the dial; and (CD-1a) letters spaced close to the dial. Killer bar location is frequently Mare Island, California, although commemorative wording is also used. A small open star is often found in the killers.
Sherman and the North Bay Stamp Club also gave several unique design Type F cancels to ships. See USS Chicago CL-29 (C-41), USS Montgomery DD-121 (M-46), USS Talbot DD-114 (T-5) and USS V-6 SC-2.
