GA1272

CSA #2 H&L (margin tight at the bottom right) tied by the Savannah, Ga CDS with a JUL (1862) date. There is also an unframed grid cancel applied but does not tie the stamp. The Grid is consistent with the Grid used at Savannah and apparently missed the stamp when struck. The stamp is the "Shooting Star" variety (CC 2-H-v5) from Position 14. CS Navy address to B. Henning, 2d Asst Engr C. S. Navy, Columbus, Georgia. No information on the addressee. The Confederate Navy operated an Iron Works and a Shipyard at Columbus, Georgia, on the Chattahoochee River for the construction of river ironclads. Columbus is also the current home of the National Civil War Naval Museum. Light coarse brown paper cover with some minor light soiling but still has quite a clean appearance.
