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.
