This is a very nice Clarence E. Reid Cachet.
Although it is not listed in the Mellone catalog, I don't believe it is
an add-on. According to the dealer I acquired it from, Mr. Reid only
made around twenty copies of his cachets. The printing is of top
quality. The details in the blue border must be seen in real life
to truly appreciate its intricacies. This cachet is one of my favorites
and also one of my most valuable. In some ways, it reminds me of
the Von Ohlon Cachet (M31) displayed earlier
in this exhibit. The cachet is numbered 2717, however, I have no
idea what the number represents. It looks like an internal inventory
number. If you can provide any information about this cachet, please
drop me a line at

The cachet's text reads as follows:
