CSA #11a (AD) Milky Blue (4-Margin but close at the top) tied by the Sumter SC CDS 3 JUN 1864. Adversity Cover with the stamp used over the embossing of a USA 3c Red Star Die. Part of the red embossing can be easily seen along the left margin of the stamp. Addressed to J. W. Stuckey Esqr, Bishopville SC. Top edge of the cover repaired and restored (not affecting the stamp or any of the markings) with the partial addition of a back flap. The restoration is well done giving the cover an overall Very Fine appearance. Ex-Baum Collection. Capt John Wesley Stuckey (1810-1896) is listed on the Federal Census of 1860 as a farmer (planter). He was also very involved in local government and was appointed as the Bishopville postmaster in 1841. His title of "Capt" appears to be honorary and not associated with any military service.
