6 January 2012
A Beck Crew Cover (USS New Orleans from Skylab
3) sold for $135.50 on eBay! This cover was unusual in that it was addressed
to a Mr McDougal and had an accompanying note from Morris Beck to Mr McDougal regarding the cover. This is the
first time I've seen a postmarked Beck cover without a number sent to anyone. Up to now such covers were believed
to have be sent to the Navy to give to each ship's Postal Officer as a thank you for servicing Morris Beck's covers.
This cover raises the question 'Were some un-numbered Beck covers also sent to some of Beck's customers and/or
friends?'.
