SC773 CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin with a light crease) tied by the pre-war Charleston SC smaller single rim postmark with a SEP date. This Charleston postmark was only very occasionally used in the Confederate period. The postmarks more commonly used were the small double circle or the large single rim with yeardate and missing digit. This pre-war mark differs from the other more commonly used CSA single rim device in that it is somewhat smaller than the CSA mark, has a different style of lettering, and has no yeardate within the postmark. Only about 40 covers are recorded where this pre-war Charleston postmark was used from mid-1862 to mid-1864. Yellow paper cover addressed to Mr. W. J. Gerald, Camden SC.  Cover with just a little overall foxing and a light edge stain at top center. Still a very good example of this not commonly seen Charleston postmark. $300.00
