<hr/>
Cachets should be listed in chronological order based on earliest known usage. Use 
the postmark date or best guess. This applies to add-on cachets as well.<br/><br/>
This page will look at the 1946 postmark created by Glenn W. Dye, supposedly from USCGC MOHAWK WPG-78. This postmark is identified as "FAKE" in the Universal Ship Cancellation Society Postmark Catalog and given the catalog number of M-38.<br/><br/>
'''Note''' - Not all of Dye's covers are FAKES, but each one needs to be carefully looked at for suspicious postmarks, backdating or other such activities.
