This page displays First Day Cover (FDC) cachets created by William J. Volker (19?? - 19??) of Lancaster, New York.

2-15-2020 email from David S. Zubatsky (?-1939 city? - 10-26-2022 city?):

"By the way, the Cachetmaker is William J. Volker not Mook. I talked to Volker's 91 year old son recently. I am working on a Volker bio and listing of his first day covers. Volker was a mail carrier and many of the names on his covers were the names of his people on his mail route."

As of today, 11-28-2024, 14 covers are being advertised on eBay as "Mook" cachets, four years after David proved that all of them are Volker cachets. He notified the eBay seller of this fact but they are still being sold today as Mooks. David passed away before submitting his Volker biography to First Days. Someone said that the AFDCS contacted the Zubatsky family after his passing, but they have not responded. Nothing from his collection has shown up for sale anywhere. Until I hear otherwise, as far as I know, David's 60 years of research and his entire collection have been discarded and permanently lost.
