A catalog of all known Alaska (Semi)official cachets of the 20th Century
This is a list of all known official and semi-official post office cachets used in Alaska during Statehood (Jan. 3, 1959) through the end of the 20th century (Dec. 31, 1999). Please send any updates you might have to Dirk van Gelderen, Voorkade 74, 2771 ZB Boskoop, Netherlands or e-mail them to me. All help is greatly appreciated!
Here you will find how the listing is built. Back to the main page.
This catalog is dedicated to the memory of Raymond A. Fay, a great friend who brought me into collecting this specialty. He passed away in 1997 and is greatly missed!
