1974
Cachet
52,880 known to go over the trail by dog team and over
12,000 of those destroyed by the USPS. 1,200 cachets
carried by each musher from Anchorage to Nome; a 12#
package. Cachet design by famed Fur Rondy Artist Bill
Devine also creator of the Iditarod "I".
This cachet carries Iditarod "I"
cancel on 10 cent US Dual Flag Stamp and is back stamped
on date of finish. Many signed by musher/s after the
finish in Nome, 1st place packet sold out and others
used for first place musher to sign as well. Other than
back date, there is no real way which ones were carried
by whom. All cachets are back stamped in Nome with the
musher finish date, only one postage cancelation on
front of cachet. This project intended to raise funds
for the Iditarod was accomplished mostly through U.S.
Postal personnel and some Iditarod volunteers. This
proved to be such a burden for the "volunteer"
poor ITC that it like many things in Iditarod history
was scapped before it's worth could be proven.
