The next year, Crosby produced first day covers for the 1932 Summer Olympic stamps (718-19) and for the 6c John Garfield Coil (723).  These issues were released in Los Angeles, thus making it easy for Crosby to service the covers locally.  For both issues Crosby generally created cachets that were primarily related and cancelled on naval ships docked in the Los Angeles harbor.  (Planty lists #718/19-66 as a cachet in yellow with #66a in orange.  I have never seen a yellow version so if anyone has one, I would love to see it and include it in this listing.) The last covers illustrated on this page are for Scott #724 (William Penn.) They do not have Crosby cachets, but have unofficial ship cancels and are addressed to Crosby.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="15" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="843" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#BF0000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#BF0000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 468 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="21ed20ba0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="442" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>702-1 (P#40) in red.+</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 489 WIDTH="805"><div> <B><IMG SRC="279120bc0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="444" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>703-3 (P#35) (See prior page for Beazell Type photographic cover)  Rubber stamp cachet commemorating President Hoover's visit that day.+</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 493 WIDTH="805"><div> <B><IMG SRC="235b20c00.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="448" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>703-3A (P#60).  In addition to the Hoover cachet, there are two other rubber stamps on this cover with "Old Ironsides" at top left and "U.S. FRIGATE CONSTITUTION below cancellation.</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 462 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="27eb20b40.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="436" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>703-3B.  Like 703-3A but placement of the two additional rubber stamps are reversed.</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 494 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="287b20d40.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="468" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>703-3C.
