04/22/32

Nebraska City, NE

Printed corner card in Black, red, white, blue & gold.


Printed generic Myron McCamley "Eagle - Shield - Capital" cachet in Purple.

W. Arthur McKinney


The addressee, W. Arthur McKinney, a professional Scouter, later became Stamp Editor of Boys' Life,


a founder of SOSSI, and the "Special Assistant to the Chief Scout Executive".


These covers were prepared in two steps.   McKinney sent self addressed corner stationery to the


Nebraska City Postmaster for First Day processing & he had the McCamley cachet applied to the covers


before (or after) they were mailed or,  the corner was printed on the already prepared


McCamley generic cacheted envelopes.

#U436 stamped #10 envelope


National Council, BSA made this rubber stamp available nationwide.


This example is on Chickasaw Council, Memphis, TN, corner card rubber stamped in black.


Other known examples are from 02/08/33 Dayton, OH; 02/13/33 Olney, IL; 04/10/33 Los Angeles, CA


& 04/22/33 Reading, PA



Very few of these covers seem to have survived.   Ironically, its usage by "Stamp Tongs of Astoria"


on 33-1 remains the second most common pre 1948 US Scout cover.



Corrections to 33-2:   Change sponsor from "Tongs of Astoria" to "Stamp Tongs of Astoria"


Add to 33-2:   All covers are numbered on back. The sequence used on 33-1 is continued and


a number 3846 is known.  About 50-100 made.

On the back of these covers, the numbering sequence is continued from 33-1 & 33-2;


these being from 3900 to 3905.



The signature of Arthur Lutz, ASM Troop 53, Queens Council, is associated with the 33-1 cachet.  Lutz


lived in Long Island City; his Troop 53 was in Astoria. Whereas most 33-1 covers were machine cancelled


"New York, N.Y. 15", some were cancelled "Long Island City, N.Y. 2".   Astoria & Long Island City are


contiguous communities in the Borough of Queens in New York City.


Arthur Lutz most likely was "Stamp Tongs of Astoria".

Similar to 33-2.2a but a Form 3547 instead of a 3457 & "9 W. Washington Street" instead of "9 West


Washington Street".  As the "West" is used on subsequent dated covers, this "W." address


probably precedes the 02/33 date of 33-2.2a.
