CB16 CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by a full strike of the Chattanooga, Ten CDS 20 DEC (1863). Addressed to Mrs. E. M. Davis, Pratville, Ala. Cover was sent by Private Eli M. Davis of Co F 45th Ala Inf (an Army of Tennessee unit) to his wife. Cover is dated after the Fall of Chattanooga to the Union during the time when the Chattanooga postmaster was travelling with the Army of Tennesee and using the Chattanooga CDS to service the army mail. Known as the Chattanooga “Rover,” this actually represents an Army of Tennessee field cancel. Very Fine Cover. Cover originally included in the exhibit to show the army field cancel usage. This cover was used as an illustration on Page 30 of Gen Bush’s Fancy and Unusual Cancel book and again as an illustration on Page 166 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately. SOLD
