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. |
