    5.       Searching through Planty Volumes 3 - 12, I found the following Cataloged examples of the above cachets. Some are identified as J.A. Burnett, and some are "Unknown". Following up, from a consensus of the collectors contacted about these designs, all GP#FDOI-2, GP#FDOI-3 and GP#FDOI-4 are by J.A. Burnett. However, GP#FDOI-1 remains unidentified.
