These three covers represent typical Harry Gordon cachets from different missions. I have tabulated all his cachets that I am aware of on my siteHowever there are a number of gaps such as Gemini 2, 5, 6, 10 and 11, Apollo 8, 10, 13, 15 and 16 plus early Apollo, Skylab and ASTP (do they even exist for Skylab and ASTP?). I would greatly appreciate anyone posting scans from the missing missions.

I've got some here and there, Ross, but would need more time in getting them together as I'll be tied up now with the Crew-1 launch and mission.I did have one of Gordon's addressed airmail envelopes for a Skylab launch (I think for SL-1). He used a NASA Skylab decal sticker as the cachet for it, though. I'll save one of them for you at no charge if you can use it in some way. |

Ross, I've got some of Gordon's space covers posted on my site.Feel free to use the scans where needed to fill in, most are from eBay sales. |

Ken, thanks very much. However I'm only interested in recovery ship covers but thanks for the offer. |

Thanks for the clarification, Ross, as I do see the ones depicted are recovery ship cancels, but only read the text of the posting and didn't note recovery ships only. Gordon also did launch covers as well with the same type cachet designs, but I'll check my recovery ship covers as time permits. | |
