Note: This "Berthed at Portland" rubber stamp appears on most chapter covers, usually on the back. It was used on the first chapter cachet, Navy Day, Oct. 27, 1934. The early version of the rubber stamp had a "179" (Myron McCamley's USCS number) extending out from the dial, but that was removed sometime in early 1935. | |||

Note: | Note: This cachet was originally used by the Battleship Oregon Chapter in 1934. The chapter no longer sponsored cachets after 1938, and was defunct sometime in 1939. However, McCamley used this old cachet, deleted the year, but left the wording about the old chapter. He also converted the image to a rubber stamp, so it lacks much of the original detail. Cancels are usually seen on USS COLORADO, but it was also used on other ships. | ||

Historical Data
Organized: July 30, 1934 (Bulletins No. 44 & 45) as Oregon Chapter with 16 charter members. Meetings were actually held on board the old battleship, now a museum ship at Portland, Oregon. Myron McCamley was the original "commander" and driving force of the chapter. Organizing members: Myron McCamley (#179), President; Joseph C. Formick (#357), Vice Pres; Ross B. Hare (#432), Secty; Elbert I. Hannaford, Treasurer; Edward A. Peake (#646), Arthur Delmore (#314), Louis R. Diesing (#645), Ernest W. Jenkins (#183), Reginald E. Linto (#599).
Cachet directors: 1934-36 Louis R. Diesing, 1937 Myron McCamley (and also Raymond Van Tress). The Chapter ceased operations after 1938, and was officially defunct per the 1940 USCS Yearbook.
Note: The May 1965 USCS Log (page 2) mentions an attempt to organize a new USS Oregon Chapter, but it wasn't until 1977 that USS OREGON Chapter #79 was formed.

Note: This "Berthed at Portland" rubber stamp appears on most chapter covers, usually on the back. It was used on the first chapter cachet, Navy Day, Oct. 27, 1934. The early version of the rubber stamp had a "179" (Myron McCamley's USCS number) extending out from the dial, but that was removed sometime in early 1935.

Cachet by Louis R. Diesing and sponsored by the Battleship Oregon Chapter No. 22, USCS. John N. Lawrence probably serviced this cover from Shanghai.
This cachet is essentially the same as the one for January 1, 1935. The only difference is the addition of a border.

Note: This cachet was originally used by the Battleship Oregon Chapter in 1934. The chapter no longer sponsored cachets after 1938, and was defunct sometime in 1939. However, McCamley used this old cachet, deleted the year, but left the wording about the old chapter. He also converted the image to a rubber stamp, so it lacks much of the original detail. Cancels are usually seen on USS COLORADO, but it was also used on other ships.
If you have images to add to this page, then either contact the Curator or edit this page yourself and add them. See Editing Cachet Maker Pages for detailed information on editing this page.
