Cancels
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
536 cover 11-ADc imageColumbia, S.C. (C.S.A. Catalog 11-ADc), 10¢ greenish blue, type I, Archer & Daly, lovely color and large balanced margins, tied (upside down) by a blue Columbia, S.C. c.d.s., Dec 22 (1863), on a small, neat folded letter (an ALS) from South Carolina Secretary of State, William R. Huntt, to a Col. James Simons in Charleston, S.C. regarding a private legal matter, Extremely Fine.


William Richardson Huntt became South Carolina’s Secretary of State in 1863 after serving seven years as Deputy Comptroller General. In February 1865, anticipating that Sherman’s troops would burn and pillage the state capitol, he gathered up 90 boxes of important S.C. documents and artifacts, including the Ordinance of Secession and the state seal, and evaded Union troops with them until the end of the war.

553 cover   imageRichmond Grid Used As a Receiver, 10¢ type II (Archer & Daly) barely tied by a partial blue Columbia, S.C. c.d.s. and by a pre-war nine-bar circular grid on a cover to Lt. William H. Coit, Gardens Battery, Hoods Division, Longstreets Corps, Richmond, Va.; apparently, because the stamp appeared to be uncanceled, the receiving clerk felt the need to properly cancel it, using an old obliterator; reduced a bit at the left with end flap and part of bottom flap missing, Fine and most unusual.
