David Pritchard United Nations First Day Covers : 1969 - 1975

David M. Pritchard, Jr.  produced and sold  first day covers for  U.S.,  U.N., Canadian and European stamp issues beginning in the mid 1960s and continuing into the 1980s. Pritchard was a prolific cachet designer who used pencils, crayons and markers to colour his stenciled cachets.  Pritchard identified his cachets with his initials "DMP" but  in 1970 changed to "David "C" Cachets"  following the birth of his son Chip. 

Three earlier postings dealt with Pritchard's Canadian cachets and drawings :
