EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY FOUR-MARGIN STAMP AMONG THE FOUR RECORDED UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE BATON ROUGE POSTMASTER'S 2-CENT PROVISIONAL ISSUE.

Only four unused examples of the Baton Rouge 2c provisional are recorded, including one with the "McCcrmick" error (11X1a). None is sound, and this stamp has much larger margins than any of the others.

3199   Danville Va., 5c Red on Laid (Unlisted 21X1 variety).> Rectangular margins slightly in at top and bottom and cut diagonally at lower right, cancelled by two light strikes of black circular datestamp, tiny puncture from period in type, couple trivialDanville Va., 5c Red on Laid (Unlisted 21X1 variety). Rectangular margins slightly in at top and bottom and cut diagonally at lower right, cancelled by two light strikes of black circular datestamp, tiny puncture from period in type, couple trivial thin spots and small crease at upper right

A FINE AND IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE PROVISIONAL RARITY. ONLY EIGHT EXAMPLES OF THE DANVILLE ADHESIVE ARE RECORDED -- OF THESE ONLY FOUR HAVE RECTANGULAR MARGINS AND ONLY THIS STAMP IS PRINTED ON LAID PAPER, WHICH DESERVES A SEPARATE MAJOR CATALOGUE LISTING.

Our records of the rare Danville provisional stamp include eight examples, as follows. Rectangular-cut margins: 1) on piece dated Oct. 3, ex Ferrary, Caspary, 2) laid paper, off-cover with bottom right corner clipped, the stamp offered here, ex Hind, 3) dated Oct. 4, affixed to a cover, ex Hessel and Kilbourne, 4) tied on cover, Oct. 9, ex Caspary, Lilly, Octagonal margins or cut to shape: 5) off cover, dated Oct. 3, ex Caspary, 6) tied on cover, Oct. 29, ex Emerson, 7) tied on cover, Oct. 30, ex Kimmel, and 8) cut to small oval shape, dated Oct. 11, ex Deats (P.F. photo files).

Only four rectangular-cut examples of the Danville provisional stamp are recorded. Until now, we had to rely on earlier descriptions of this stamp's paper. Now that we have had the opportunity to examine it, we can state unequivocally that the paper has strong vertical laid lines. Therefore, it deserves a major Scott number (21X2) and recognition as the only recorded Danville adhesive on laid paper. This is truly one of the rarest of all Confederate provisionals, and should not be confused with its more numerous counterpart from Pittsylvania Court House, which is known on wove and laid paper.
