looks like a waste of perfectly good cachets to me. I even have a bunch of hand-painted cachets similar to these.

Maybe Gloria collected first-days of regular issue. I think there were collectors who did that in the 1930s and early 1940s.

Stamps of this period were typically first released in a city that had some connection with the topic of the stamp.
In the case of your two covers, the first day was in
1) Concord Mass. on Feb. 5
2) Lowell Mass. on Sept. 5
The "next day" or "second day" cancels from Washington represent the first day of availability in that city.
Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, there is not much interest for these among FDC collectors.
One interesting variation of the "Second Day cancel" is covers that were postmarked on US Naval Ships in Asian Waters, where the date was one day ahead of the official release date, and therefore simultaneous with the release in the USA.

I have a few in my collection that I acquired without noticing the date. I've kept them in my collection since people did collect these. All the ones I have are Washington DC, so I believe that was considered first day of general issue.

My take is that 2nd-day FDCs are cool, legit, and widely ignored.
As usual, I'd prefer non-cacheted (ordinary use) covers, but that's me.

Looked on the internet can't find any info about the covers issued as FDCs but are actually 2nd day issue. All I know is it was a big thing when FDR was president. Pics are an example of what I'm talking about.
