CSA #4 Stone 2 and CSA #6 Used on Combination
to make the 10c rate. Both stamps are pen-canceled and on the back used
to seal the backflap but were not damaged in opening. Manuscript on the
front of the cover “Afton, Va Aug 21st (1862) stamps on back.” The
“stamps on back” notation was made by the Afton postmaster to note that the
postage had been paid. Light brown coarse paper cover (probably
homemade) with a Military Address to Mr. James A. Pannel in the Care of
Capt Marmaduke Johnson Richmond, Va Light Artillery. The
Richmond “Johnson” Va Light Artillery Battery was an Army of Northern
Virginia Artillery Unit. Afton, Va was a stop on the Virginia Central
Railaroad. Very clean cover only slightly reduced on the left not affecting
anything and showing interesting combination usage.
