Cachet Display Catalog: FDC Cachetmakers Index

      This page displays First Day Covers (FDC) cachets created by John Jezek, Jr. (1918-2001), past-President of the AFDCS. Although I have not seen any of his cachets that were signed, John wrote me that he made all the displayed Postal Card cachets when I bought them from him in 1979. Also displayed are all known to me Scroll and Quill rubber-stamp General Purpose (GP) add-on cachets made by John. Except as noted by "{A}" (my personal collection), all other displayed covers were found on the Web.

Add-ons:
      First Days [#358, 52(3), 4-15-2007, p. 34,36]: "In Update 138 (see Elrod, Monty, Doyle, and Goodson 2007b) it was reported the general purpose cachet by John Jezek, Jr., Scott 1077-G, has replaced Scott UC36-4. A reader has provided a hand-written stuffer by Jezek telling about his rubber stamp cachet used May 12, 1979, as a FDC Club project to add on cachets to 500+ uncacheted FDCs dated 1945 through 1950. Additionally, the cachet was added to uncacheted Scott numbers C7, C8, and C9. As a result of this information, Scott UC36-A has been reinstated as the first John Jezek, Jr., cachet. All earlier FDC are add-ons."

      An 8-06-1980 note on an AFDCS filler card that I received from John documenting his General Purpose rubber stamp cachet. I have not seen a press-printed version of this cachet.


"Add-on" Cachets are listed in First Day of Issue (FDOI) U.S./U.N. cancellation date order.
