BE129

CSA #7 Horz Pair (4-Margin with dark edge toning) cancelled by two strikes of a Negative “5” in a Circle handstamp with the small single rim Cornersville, Ten CDS to the left 9 MAR. This unusual handstamp is found on Cornersville stampless PAID covers and is listed as Type A in the stampless markings section of the new CSA catalog. However, this is currently the only recorded full cover where this scarce handstamp was used to cancel the stamps. There is one known off-cover 5c Blue Richmond Print with this same handstamp cancel which is offered in the next lot (BE130). Military Address to Dr. A. Jones, Tullahoma, Surgeon, 17th Tenn Reg, Gen Johnson’s Brigade. Clean blended top edge repair not affecting the postal markings. The cover was featured in an article by Gen Bush in the Nov-Dec 1993 issue of the Confederate Philatelist. Very clean appearing cover.
