Estimate; $3,000 - 4,000.

THE EARLIEST USAGE OF THE "BAHAMAS SHIP LETTER" ON A OUTBOUND BLOCKADE COVER TO NASSAU, BERMUDA - AN EXTREMELY RARE BLOCKADE COVER DESTINATION.

According to S. Walske & S. Trepel "Special Mail Routes of the American Civil War", the "Bahamas Ship Letter" two-line handstamp (type NA1) is known used from February to October of 1863 with fewer than five examples known. The early February 1863 usage is known to have transited Charleston, S.C. as this cover mostly likely did. This usage of the Bahamas ship letter handstamp predates the February 1863 by over eight months.
