Confederacy, Kingston, Ga., 1861, "Kingston, Ga'/June 13, 1861/Paid 5 Cents", ornate typeset design press printed on cover to Miss E. J. West in Cedar Town, Ga., tiny bit of expert restoration just affecting marking in top right corner, slightly reduced at right and very minor water staining, Very Fine appearance, ex-Judd, Brooks, Simon, Myerson; signed R. Frajola. Scott No. 46XU3  $13,000. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THIS PRESS-PRINTED PROVISIONAL ENTIRE. ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES. This is a unique form of Postmasters' Provisional and it appears that the setting was quickly split apart or broke apart, as by June 19, 1861 the "Paid 5 Cents" portion only is reported as a stand alone Provisional handstamp. The great detail of the design is remarkable. $0 (Image)
