LB12 On the front of the cover is a partial strike of the Sumter SC CDS 21 SEP and the Handstamp PAID 10 Type D. The PAID 10 is lined through and canceled. On the reverse, a CSA #11 (AD) stamp was affixed to seal the back flap. The stamp was torn in half when the cover was opened, and the bottom half of the stamp is missing. The stamp is tied by a remnant of the Sumter SC CDS 21 SEP (same CDS as is on the front of the cover). It appears as though the postal clerk did not see the stamp on the back initially and serviced the cover as a PAID 10 and then lined through it when the stamp was seen on the back. This is a dark blue paper Adversity Cover made from what appears to be a printed page or flyer concerning the Southern Literary Journal and Magazine of Arts. A little staining at the upper corners. Still a presentable adversity cover despite the faulty stamp. Ex-Baum Collection. $200.00
