I came across this cover today and I am not able to decipher the signature. Anyone with better eyes than me able to figure it out or is familiar with the cachet?
William III covers were designed and produced by William E. Smith III, I would never have got Smith from that signature! There is an interesting self authored article in First Days Magazine, March 1995 page 138 for anyone interested in learning about the birth and development of William III cover designs

It sure looks familiar . . . my best guess might be the cachetmaker, 'William III".
Thanks for the help, I love your cachets!!!
