The rubber stamp cachet shown on the top two covers was obviously taken from the printed cachet that Carl Swanson created for the Project Mercury FDC shown in the images.

Carl created the cachet in 1960 but the rubber stamp usage is in the 1970s.

Anyone have an idea who created and/or serviced covers using this rubber stamp cachet?

Any other event covers that have it? Thanks.

Three postmarks: 1960, 1964 and 1971 (I think that's what I noted and forgot to write down). That's a long time between usages! I've never seen one like this before.

All times are CT (US)
