At first glance, this Beck 924 cover looks like it is
missing the printed B number. A CREW cover?
So look a little harder and you can see that the B number
is printed in Yellow and is nearly hidden
by the RED color of the cachet.
Now, look at the three B924 shown below and you will see
where the B number is printed in Yellow.
The "slug" that holds the B number sometimes moves. Thank you goes to Larry
Johnson for spotting this one.

Beck 937 was presumed lost or
thrown away at the shipyard.
Beck printed 206 covers for cachet number B937 to commemorate VJ-Day August
15.
We never saw the actual cover so we never posted a scan until April 2020.
Beck cover collector Tony Montgomery found this cover and sent us a scan to
show on the Beck site.
