Could not find a name for USCS 681 / ANCS 111 / Aiglon Mc-296 and it is unclear what role, if any, this person had in creating the cachet.

Note: Artist name is in the cachet (under the "19" of "1936"). It looks like "H E GUNNETT" but I can find no information on such a person. Also unknown what role, if any, Loring Stannard and Charles Beucher had in creating the cachet.
