CSA #4 UNUSED Stone 2 Block of 4 with all 4 margins but just a little close at the upper left corner and an intense dark blue shade. Plated as Pos 1, 2, 11, 12. Much OG remains but is a bit toned with age as is expected. One light hinge mark also present. Very attractive block. Blocks of the lithographed stamps are difficult to find. |
|
 |
CSA #4 USED Stone 2 (two singles) tied to small piece and to each other by two strikes of the Richmond, Va CDS 9 JUL 1862. Margins a bit close in a few spots and very minor margin faults on the stamps. Very attractive piece. |
|
 |
CSA #4 USED Stone 2 Horz Pair Light Milky Blue 4-Margin (just a little close at upper right) with a neat but usual weak strike of the Aiken SC CDS 14 AUG (1862). Stamps also cancelled with 2 strikes of a framed 7-bar Grid. Aiken SC was not known to have used a grid, and these grids are most consistent with the receiving grids used at Winnsboro NC. Very Fine. |
|
|
|
CSA #4a Stone 2 UNUSED Block of 4 (4-Margin and a very dark blue color Plated as Positions 3-4, 13-14). Part OG, few tiny thins, and with the usual light gum toning seen with the stone lithograph stamps. Still a Very Fine appearing block. | $600.00 |
|
|
CSA #4 UNUSED Stone 2 Cross Gutter Block of 4 OG NH 4- Margin with the wide Vert Gutter and the narrow Horz Gutter and plated as Positions 50, 41, 10, 1. Excellent deep blue color. Expected gum toning from the full original gum which shows through just a bit at the upper left of no consequence. A rare and spectacular showpiece. |
|
|
|
CSA #4 Stone 3 Block of 4 UNUSED (4-Margin). The lower left stamp shows the very prominent Leaking “N” stone variety which positively identifies the stamp as Stone 3 Position 1. The block therefore shows the horizontal gutter as it straddles the upper and lower transfers and plates as Stone 3 Positions 41-42, 1-2. Part OG, Hinged, few creases seen from the back, and two small pinholes. Still a very scarce item and a Very Fine Appearance despite the faults. |
|
|
|
CSA #4 Stone 2 Block of 4 UNUSED (4-Margin with a Left Sheet Margin). The lower left stamp shows the prominent Spur on the Left Upper Scroll from Position 21. Block therefore plates as Stone 2 Positions 11-12, 21-22. Top two stamps hinged and much OG remains. But as is usual the remaining gum is very heavy and very unevenly applied with the usual toning and cracking but does not affect an overall Very Fine appearance. |
|

CSA #4a four singles arranged to look like a Horz Strip of 4 Stone 2 Positions 19, 30, 29, 28 USED (margins appear to be quite decent and two of the stamps overlap). The color is a uniform Dark Blue, so the stamps apparently all came from the same sheet. The stamps are tied together and to a small piece by two strikes of the Columbus, Mi(ss) CDS 9 JUL (1862).

CSA #5 USED (4-Margin and a very nice color with just a little brownish tinge) with a very neat strike of the Warrington, Fla CDS with an AUG (1862) date. Usage is well after the fall of the Pensacola-Warrington area to the Union in MAY 1862 and represents usage from Pollard, Ala as the Warrington postmaster fled north to Pollard (just across the state line north of Pensacola) where he continued to service army mail using the Warrington, Fla postmark at least into NOV 1863. There are only a small handful of examples of the CSA #5 stamp either on or off cover showing a Florida postmark. This postmark is unusual in that the date slugs are upside down resulting in an inverted month and a large bar where one would expect to see the day and year. Unusual but not unknown as the slugs were sometimes inadvertently inverted when they were changed. The stamp itself has a few minor thins and minor creases which do not detract from an otherwise Very Fine appearance. Old prior owner's tiny handstamp on the reverse. Very scarce usage. |

CSA #5 USED (4-Margin and decent color with just a little edge gum toning) tied to small piece with an excellent strike of the Warrington, Fla CDS 14 OCT (1862). Usage is well after the fall of the Pensacola-Warrington area to the Union in MAY 1862 and represents usage from Pollard, Ala as the Warrington postmaster fled north to Pollard (just across the state line north of Pensacola) where he continued to service army mail using the Warrington, Fla postmark at least into NOV 1863. There are only a small handful of examples of the CSA #5 stamp either on or off cover showing a Florida postmark. Very scarce usage. Very Fine. See CS-0541 above for another example with the Warrington, Fla postmark on the 10c Rose Stamp. | $1,250.00 |
|
|
CSA #5 USED (4-Margin with excellent color) with the Little Rock, Ark small double circle CDS 21 MAY 1863. Very light vertical crease and slight edge gum toning at the lower left corner which does not in anyway detract from an overall Very Fine appearance. This stamp showing Arkansas usage is scarce. |
|
 |

CSA #5 Plated as Position 7 USED (4-Margin and good color) with a socked-on-the-nose Target Cancel and the matching Little Rock, Ark small double circle CDS (two strikes) (date not apparent).

 |
CSA #5 USED (4-Margin but close on the right with Good Color) tied to small blue paper piece by a full strike of the BLUE Greensborough NC CDS 20 FEB. Stamp has pre-affixing faults with a light crease at the top left, and perhaps a small hole between the “EE” of the postmark at top left that does not go through the piece, and a little gum toning at the upper left corner. None of the faults detract from an overall very fine appearance with the full blue postmark. | $400.00 |
 |
CSA #5 Horz Pair Positions 1-2 USED (4-Margin but close in spots) tied to small piece by the Richmond, Va Powell Type 3b (broken “N” of “JUN”) 9 JUN 1862. Very nice pair with good color. Signed “OK Dietz” on the back. | $1,000.00 |
 |
CSA #5 USED (4-Margin with excellent color) with the Salisbury NC CDS (date not apparent). The stamp is also canceled by three strikes of a DUE 3 handstamp which is a Union mark.

Tear sealed from the back at lower left and a small edge nick at lower right. | $400.00 |
 |
CSA #5 (scratched stone variety clearly seen at upper right 5-v5) USED (4-Margin with good color) with the Atlanta, Ga CDS with an AUG (1862) date.

Nothing shows through to the front and nothing detracts from an otherwise Very Fine appearance. | $500.00 |
 |
CSA #5 USED (margin a little tight on the left) with a face free strike of the the Southern Express Co. double circle postmark. This stamp with a express cancel is extremely scarce. The CSA #5 stamp with an express cancel is Scott listed but not priced. Small thinned brown spot to the left of the portrait which appears to be a natural paper inclusion. Insignificant edge thin at upper left. Very attractive stamp with a very elusive express postmark. PF Certificate 1978. | $1,000.00 |
