CS04/237
 CSA #4 Stone 2 Plated as Position 8 (4-Margin but close on the left and with a little edge gum toning) tied to a small piece by the Camp Shenandoah, Va Army Field Postmark 13 APR (1862).  This army post office about 20 miles west of Staunton, Va was established only for a very brief period of service.  The known examples of this postmark and a manuscript postal marking only date between 11 and 16 APR 1862.  The post office was established in early April 1862 and ceased to exist when the army abandoned Camp Shendandoah on 20 APR 1862.  This stamp is directly from Conrad Bush’s exhibit and is still mounted on the exhibit card.  The stamp and the piece contain about 80% of the postmark.  The very top of the postmark has been reconstructed for display purposes.  This stamp can be found used as an illustration on Page 26 of Conrad Bush’s book on fancy and unusual cancels.  Extremely scarce army field postmark.
