We have received new information
regarding the number of cachets Morris W. Beck produced for cover #220, USS Lowry.�
Since the 1995 publication of Les Winick's Beck Handbook, everyone thought
that Beck produced only six covers for the cover number 220.�
We now have more information.�
The documented cover printing log written in
Beck's handwriting�states that a total of 65 #220 covers were
made.�
We know the Cover Log shown below is authentic because of a
signed letter from M W Beck dated February 14, 1974 when Beck sent the Cover
Log to a long-time friend.�
The two "thumbnails" below show the pages
from Winick's 1995 Beck Handbook
and the hand written Cover Log kept by Morris Beck.�
