CSA #1 Stone Vert Pair Plated as Positions 20, 30
(margin touches along the left side affixed sideways) tied by a partial strike
of the Yorktown, Va CDS 30 NOV (1861). Trans-Mississippi usage
addressed to Mrs. Carolina E Quirk, New Orleans, La. On arrival in New
Olreans, the cover was advertised with the addition of the New Orleans
boxed “ADV. .” handstamp Dietz Type I. This is a scarce handstamp and
is actually a prewar mark that was adopted by the New Orleans post office
for Confederate use by removing the “1” in the original mark and leaving
that space blank as the CSA advertised rate was 2cts. Minor corner faults
and a small stain at the lower left corner but otherwise a very clean
appearance.
