So many of the CSA unused stamps are without gum, and many of the stamps also have very tiny pinholes. The reasons behind this are due to the collectors and the dealers of years past. Collectors of an earlier time purposefully soaked the gum off the unused stamps to protect the stamps from sticking and cracking. In the days before air-conditioners and climate control, these collectors actually did us a great favor by doing this. Otherwise we may not have these stamps to collect today because of the generally very poor gum that was originally used. The small pinholes were usually caused by the dealers of the late 19th century who had the habit of displaying the stamps that they had for sale by pinning them with small straight pins to cork bulletin boards in their shops. I wonder how the collectors 100 years in the future will view our current methods of collecting and preserving.
There are collectors that are interested only in original pristine full- margined OG NH stamps. To these collectors, I wish you every success. Occasionally, I do have such material listed. But please be advised that OG Confederate Stamps (particularly CSA #7, #11, #12) will have gum creases and cracks because of the generally poor condition of the gum to begin with. This is an expected part of CSA collecting. To the collector that is willing to temper history with condition, I know that you will be greatly rewarded. To those of you that are interested only in gem "post office fresh" condition material and not the history, then I apologize in advance as I can only be of limited assistance as a complete CSA stamp collection with such rigid criteria is essentially unobtainable.

|
|
 |

 |
CSA #62x4 5c Brown New Orleans Provisional on Bluish Paper Complete Plate Reconstruction of all 40 plate positions (24 singles and 8 pairs including 2 pairs with bottom imprint) mixed USED (32) and UNUSED (8) with one extra Position 39 Stamp.

CSA #62x3 5c Brown New Orleans Provisional on White Paper Vert Strip of 3 USED Plated as Positions 3, 11, 19 (4-Margin with small part of the imprint visible at the top) on small piece with three strikes of the “PAID” cancel and a bold and complete strike of the New Orleans, La CDS 9 AUG (1861). This piece was once part of a full cover with a fourth single stamp addressed to Hamburg SC (20c rate). But the 4th single stamp on the cover was a replacement and was not original to the cover. Therefore, the replaced stamp was removed and the cover converted to a large piece in order to preserve the used strip as used multiples higher than a pair of the New Orleans provisional stamps are very scarce. Accompanying this piece is a 2006 CSA certificate for the full cover showing this strip with the replaced stamp. The certificate also notes that the strip was lifted, the bottom stamp expertly repaired, and the strip replaced. The repair to the bottom stamp of the strip is so minor and so expertly done that it is almost undetectable. Truly a showpiece item as these used larger multiples are so extremely scarce. |

|
CSA #62x3 Horz Pair and CSA #62x4 Horz Pair New Orleans 5c Brown Provisionals on White Paper and Bluish Paper USED in combination (20c rate) affixed to small yellow paper piece and tied to the piece by four strikes of the PAID cancel and also by a partial strike of the New Orleans, La CDS 7 SEP (1861). Most unusual to see pairs from these two different printings used together in combination to make a 4x rate. The Pairs are affixed at right angles to each other and slightly overlap but appear to have very decent margins, and no faults detected. Very Fine. |

CSA #1 USED Stone 2 (2 singles arranged to appear as a Vert Pair 4-Margin) on small piece with the Suffolk, Va CDS 30 MAR (1862). The lower stamp has what looks like a small stone flaw (very difficult to tell if such things are actual stone flaws or just a small scuff since stone flaws are so prevalent on these stamps). Very Fine appearance. |
|
|
 |
CSA #1 USED Stone 2 (stamp is cut into a bit at the top) with a nice strike of the Southern Express Company Montgomery, Ala double ring CDS. There is also a little orange staining at the upper right corner which could be the remnants of another orange cancellation. These stamps showing an Express Mail cancellation are scarce. |
|
|
 |
CSA #1 USED Stone 2 Horz Pair tied to small piece by the usual weak but recognizable strike of the Fredericksburg, Va CDS 4 APR (1862). Stamps are 4-Margin but a bit close on the left. Some minor edge gum toning. Nice looking piece. |
|
|
|
CSA #1 Stone 2 USED (4-Margin but close top and left) tied on larger piece by the Blue Columbia SC CDS 21 FEB (1862) and also by the Black Winnsboro SC receiving Grid.

|
|
|
CSA #1 Stone 1 Vert Pair USED (4-Margin with parts of the two adjacent stamps visible on both sides of the upper stamp but a small horizontal scissors cut at the left edge between the stamps) tied to small piece by an excellent strike of the New Orleans, La CDS 7 FEB (1862). Very Fine. |
|
|
|
CSA #1 Stone 2 and CSA #4 Stone 2 USED in Combination for the double rate over 500 miles (both stamps are 4-Margin but the CSA #1 overlaps the top part of the CSA #4) tied to each other and to a small blue paper piece by two strikes of the Mobile, Ala double circle CDS 18 MAY (1862). Excellent combination piece. |

|
CSA #1 Stone 2 USED (4-Margin and a very dry printing) with the small double circle New Orleans, La CDS (date not dully apparent). This is the scarce New Orleans River Mail postmark applied at the dock to incoming and outgoing river mail.

Stamp exhibits the “Baton Rouge Roulettes” on three sides (top, bottom, and a line of roulettes in the design at left best seen from the back). Very Fine Ex- Wilson Hulme Collection. |
|
|
|
CSA #1 Stone 2 UNUSED (4-Margin) showing the Baton Rouge Roulettes on all four sides. The stamp was originally affixed to the unused pre printed New Orleans addressed envelopes that were found in the 1930’s by the Weill brothers. The stamp was removed from the envelope, placed in a mount, and the mount reattached to the original envelope. Note on the face of the envelope “found in Baton Rouge 1938 Genuine Roulette” and signed by Raymond N. Weill 1/13/1939. Very Fine Ex- Wilson Hulme Collection. |
|
|
|
CSA #1 Stone 2 UNUSED (margin close at right but short transfers along the right side) showing the Baton Rouge Roulettes on three sides (top, bottom, left). Stamp is still affixed to the pre-printed New Orleans addressed envelopes from the Weill find (1938) that were prepared in advance but never used due to the early fall of the city in May 1862. Envelope shows light foxing and a little water staining at the left, but the stamp has a Very Fine appearance. Ex- Wilson Hulme Collection. |

CSA #1 Stone 2 UNUSED (not plated) (margin close at right) showing the Baton Rouge Roulettes on all four sides. Stamp is still affixed to the pre-printed New Orleans addressed envelope with a notation on the back “from an old desk in Baton Rouge 1934.” So this one was apparently not from the 1938 Weill find. Minor light soiling but a Very Fine appearance Ex-Skinner Collection. |

|
|
CSA #1 Stone 2 USED (margin touches at the right and minor edge thins) canceled by an Arc Due 5 handstamp (traces of a town cancel can be seen on the stamp as well). Stamp was on a cover that was either underpaid or forwarded requiring that postage due be assessed, and the due mark was struck on the stamp perhaps because the town mark inadequately canceled the stamp. |

CSA #2 Paterson USED (4-Margin) with an excellent strike of the Estelle Springs Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad oval postmark 19 APR 1863. The stamp has major faults with multiple thins and a large sealed tear at the upper left corner but still manages a Very Fine appearance. This stamp with a Railroad postmark is extremely scarce. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 H&L Horz Pair USED (4-Margin) with two neat strikes of a MAY (1862) CDS identified only as “New - “ which I believe is most likely New Hope NC but I cannot guarantee this identification except to say that it is definitely not New Orleans, La or New Market, Va. Light horizontal crease across the top which does not at all detract from the overall appearance. Used pairs especially paying a 4x rate are scarce. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 Paterson USED (almost 4-Margin but close at the bottom and just touching at the bottom left corner) with a very neat strike of a small RED CDS (-sville) not otherwise identified. Very Fine Appearance. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 H&L Horz Pair USED tied to a small piece by two Target Cancels and a full strike of the Selma, Ala CDS 1 JUN (1862). Beautiful appearing pair with large margins all around and exhibiting a late and therefore somewhat worn impression. Extremely Fine. |
|
|
|
CSA #2e Paterson Stone Y (4-Margin but close at the top) tied to small piece by the Salisbury NC CDS 6 OCT (1862). Minor edge gum toning, otherwise Very Fine |
|
|

CSA #2 Paterson Stone Y USED (4-Margin with a right sheet margin) tied to small piece by the Richmond, Va CDS Powell Type 3g 30 OCT 1862. Very Fine. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 Paterson USED with an excellent strike of the Warrington, Fla CDS 10 NOV 1862. The stamp itself is faulty but it has been expertly rebacked to a Very Fine appearance for preservation. But it is not so much the stamp as the usage which is the most important. The Warrington Pensacola, Fla area was occupied by the Union in MAY 1862. It is known that the Warrington, Fla postmaster fled with the cancelling device and settled in Pollard, Ala. He continued to service mail from Pollard, Ala using the Warrington, Fla postmark at least until near the end of 1862 and possibly into 1863. Covers and stamps with the Warrington, Fla postmark used from Pollard, Ala after the fall of Warrington-Pensacola in their own right are scarce. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 H&L Horz Pair and CSA #1 Stone 2 USED in combination and tied to a large piece and to each other with two partial strikes of the Chattanooga, Ten CDS 20 APR 1862. The usage represents a 5x rate with the large piece containing part of an address “To the Adjutant General of Tennessee.” Most likely cut down from a large oversize envelope containing official documents. The CSA #1 stamp is 4-Margin although close at the top and the right and appears to be without faults and is plated as Stone 2 Position 49. The CSA #2 H&L Horz Pair (appears to be 4-Margin but the CSA #1 stamp slightly overlaps) has a top sheet margin and plates to Positions 6 and 7, but some faults are present. The right stamp has a slight surface scuff, and the left stamp also has a slight surface scuff and an apparent pre-affixing crease involving the lower left. Despite the faults, the item still has an overall Very Fine appearance (stamps affixed upside down with respect to each other) and represents a significantly scarce 5x rate combination usage. |
|
|
|
CSA #2 H&L USED (margins tight on three sides) tied to a large brown paper piece by the Columbus, Miss CDS 9 JUL (1862) with a second strike of the same CDS on the piece to the left of the stamp. Trivial light corner crease at upper right. |
|
 |
CSA #2 Paterson USED (small clip at lower right corner and a somewhat larger clip at the upper right corner) with a neat strike of a Georgia CDS not otherwise identified dated 3 SEP (1862). The stamp is noticeably overinked. |
|
 |

|
 |
CSA #2 H&L Plated as Position 50 (100) USED (4-Margin with a Large Lower Sheet Margin) tied to small piece by the Jackson, Miss CDS 21 JUL (1862). Random printing flaw probably caused by a piece of dirt or debris on the stone or paper at the time of printing is apparent just below and to the left of the portrait. Very Fine. PSE Certificate from 1996. |

CSA #3 USED (4-Margin but a bit close at top right and some very minor edge toning at top) San Antonio, Tex CDS. Small thins and a minor crease which do not visibly detract from an overall very neat appearance. This stamp with Texas usage is SCARCE. CSA Certificate 1994. |

CSA #3 Block of 4 UNUSED (4-Margin) No Gum with a very light vertical crease at the left not noticeable from the front. Very scarce larger multiple of this stamp with an exceptionally fine appearance. The fact that the gum was removed some time in the past has actually helped to preserve the block in this condition as the very poor stone lithograph gum will with time cause significant damage to the stamp if not well cared for. |
