Theodore Roosevelt, October 27, 1943

It is considered to be his first event cover, but that is not certain. If you

Added November 14, 2008
2008 was the first time we saw this 1943 Morris W Beck
cover he produced while in high school. This is possibly his second
cachet, but we don't know for sure. His first cachet, that we are aware of
is the Oct 27 1943, Teddy Roosevelt, Navy Day cover. There is a red rubber stamp on the reverse of the cover with Beck's usual
marking. "Morris W. Beck"
We asked Mr. Beck about his early covers and he has no written record of the
early covers and can't specifically remember which ones he published.
Another example of his second cover postmarked at a different
city. Argonne, Wisconsin.

USS PC 823-Reverse Marking 604 Ninth Street
January 28 1944
Reverse Marking 604 Ninth Street
This Ticonderoga Launching cover is likely to be a one-of-a-kind cover.
It is believed that this hand-made cover was created by Morris W. Beck.
The picture is cut from another source and affixed to the cover. The
text is hand printed. The writing style is very consistent with Beck's
other samples found on this site. If you are aware of any other Beck
hand-made covers please contact Owen Murray.
