Raven’s Nest, Va Straight Line -- CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin) tied to small brown paper piece by the two-line Raven’s Nest, Va May 8th, 1864 Straight Line cancel (SL-11). One of only two recorded examples of this scarce straight line cancel made from printer’s type. Both examples are on off-cover stamps with no known full covers. At one time, there was a third example which has not been seen in many years and whose current existence cannot be verified. The stamp has not been removed from its exhibit mount and appears Very Fine.Ex-Birkinbine. This stamp appears as the listing illustration (SL-11) in the new CSA Catalog on Page 377. This stamp is also illustrated on Page 344 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately Second Edition.
