BE130

CSA #7 (margins tight) off-cover and tied to small piece with the Negative “5” in a Circle handstamp cancel known to have originated in Cornersville, Ten. The stamp has not been removed from its exhibit mount. This stamp was used as an illustration on Page 351 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately Second Edition. PF Certificate 1984 shows the stamp affixed as a pair to a Cornersville, Ten cover from the same correspondence as BE129 above. On the photo of the original cover with the certificate, half of the right stamp of the pair was cut through and is missing. It is apparent that the damaged right stamp was removed and discarded and the small piece cut from the cover and the rest of the cover discarded after the certificate was obtained.
