Dr. Ross Smith noticed this Beck B699
in a
eBay lot of
covers.
The cover is postmarked
Norfolk, VA
on December 8, 1966 and
addressed to Germany. The date
doesn't
seem to be of any significance
so perhaps the
cover was just used for correspondence.

CREW cover. Sold on eBay $43.50 in
02/06The four covers shown below also
have the same 2 color cachet.
Covers from:
USS Hollister
USS
Kawishiwi
USS Ozbourn
USS Joseph Strauss
The exact origin of this cover is uncertain,
but it is a
CREW cover and likely printed on
the ship. It is not the usual rubber
stamp
BECK cachet applied on board the ship.
It is
believed that
someone on one of the ships
or stationed at Hawaii printed these
covers
based on Beck's design.

Also note the AS-204 was changed to
AS-205.
Dr. Ross Smith makes the
following point:
The real question is how did most of the
B720 covers find their way to KSC?
Maybe they were returned from the Essex
to the Navy with a few being
kept as a souvenir and then modified for Apollo
7.
The B720 cover was sent to the Essex for
postmarking because the
Essex was to be
the PRS for Apollo 1. When that mission
was cancelled
the cover was
held for the
next event that the Essex participated in
which was Apollo 7.
The appearance of a yellow background
on this
cover is due to the scan and the
tone of the envelope. The actual
color of
the cachets in the B716-720 series is
consistent.

This is a cachet variety.
Note that the B724 number is on the
bottom left of the cachet
instead
of the right. We have inspected about
10 of these covers and all had the
B724 number on the right of the cachet.
Most cancels are poor.
It is difficult to identify if the background
color is different between the two
varieties
unless we see the actual
covers. From the scans, it looks like
there is a color
density difference.

This cover is a B757
postmarked on the
USS
Nicholas for Apollo 7 recovery.
Beck's hand-written printing log
shows B756 and B757 were
designated for Pacific
ships. Until now, the only
Apollo7 Pacific
covers
observed were from USS
Cochrane.
The cover shown
might be a
unique cover. Note
the handwritten note above the

Prime Recovery Ship.
Correct Cover for this
number.
Cover below is from the collection of John H. Dalton
the
Secretary of the Navy, 1993-
1998. The cover has the "VIP"
label
that we have seen on
some very hard to find covers.
We believe that
the covers with
with VIP labels were sent to a
special list of people and
not to
collectors. Industry, Navy,
Contractors, Space and
Government
officials.
In 1968-69, Dalton was serving
in the Navy and received Navy
Nuclear Power
training.
He
served on USS Blueback SS-581 and USS J C Calhoun
SSBN-630.
