CB24 CSA #11 (AD) (margin close at left and minor faults) tied by a handstamp PAID cancel with manuscript “Waverlie, Va February 5” at the upper left. Obscure usage from Rockingham County. Postmaster used a handstamp device to cancel the stamp as apparently had one available, but Waverlie was too small to have its own steel rimmed postmark. Orange paper cover addressed to J. Y. Menefee Esqr, Washington Rappahannock Co., Virginia. Left edge repaired to exhibit quality. Cover originally included in the exhibit to show a handstamp PAID device used to cancel the stamp with a manuscript town postal marking. This cover was used as an illustration on Page 77 of Gen Bush’s Fancy and Unusual Cancel book and again as an illustration on Page 285 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately. SOLD
