Estimate  $1,000 - 1,500. AN OUTSTANDING FORWARDED USAGE THRU KENTUCKY ON A POTENTIALLY UNLISTED POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ENTIRE. In previous auction descriptions, the "Paid 10" straightline marking has been attributed to Bowling Green, but Bowling Green did not use a rate marking such as this and in addition the forwarding rate would be 5¢ for under 500 miles. The single rate from Savannah to Bowling Green is 10¢ for over 500 miles; to Nashville is well under the 5¢ limit at 100 miles. We feel the only logical explanation is that the "Paid 10" straightline was applied as a provisional marking and the cds on back may be a control mark if issued at Savannah, or a receiving datestamp if the cover was sent from outside Savannah.; an outstanding usage and.
