Note: "The device from which this postmark was produced was later obtained by a cover dealer and used to produce hundreds of fake covers. Genuine covers are censored, postally used, with a mimeograph cachet and either sent free or with a 6¢ airmail stamp. Fake covers usually have 3¢ commemorative stamps, colored printed cachets, and no address or censor mark. Covers with the 9efu and "TOKYO/BAY" or "NAVY/DAY" as killers are also believed to be fake products of the same dealer." (USCS Postmark Catalog, 1997)
