Wallpaper Covers, Balance of Collection. 24 covers bearing Nos. 7 (pairs), 11 or 12, wonderful range of designs in the full spectrum of colors found on Confederate wallpaper covers, each opened for display, stamp or cover flaws to be expected but on many the faults do not detract from the cover's appearance

FINE AND SCARCE GROUP OF CONFEDERATE WALLPAPER COVERS. RARELY SEEN IN THIS QUANTITY.

Each of these were considered as individual lots, but we decided offering them together would afford a rare opportunity for the Confederate collector and could serve as the basis upon which to build.
