BE62

Savannah (Georgia) Stars in the Postmark -- CSA #6 Horz Pair (margin close to touching at the top) tied by an excellent full strike of the Savannah, Geo “Stars” CDS 5 JUL (1862). Not listed in the catalog as a fancy cancel as the postmark can also be found on stampless covers. Folded Letter Complete (short personal letter) from the Manigault Correspondence addressed to Mr. Charles Manigault Care Messers Middleton & Co., Charleston, S. Carolina. There are only three towns known with “Stars in the Postmark” -- Savannah (Ga), Seguin (Texas), and Miccosukee (Fla) which is also a double rim postmark. The Savannah “Stars” is the one usually seen, but this cover has an exceptionally fine strike of the postmark. This cover is illustrated on Page 359 of the Collector's Guide to Confederate Philately Second Edition.  Very Fine Cover.
