Confederate Use of U.S. Postage & Stampless
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
41 c   image(26/U26) Pair 1861 covers exchanged between John Charles McClenaghan and his wife Mary Betts McClenaghan during South Carolina’s 117-day period of U.S. Postage Used in the Confederacy (February 4–May 31, 1861). The first cover is an 1860 3c Nesbitt “Star Die” stamped envelope used from Marion Court House to Charleston, struck with a clear “Marion C.H. Feb 27” (1861) cds. The 1861 year-date is established by the “Star Die” envelope, issued in October 1860 and valid in the South until demonetization on June 1. Addressed to Hon. J. C. McClenaghan, care of Capt. M. B. Stanley on Sullivan’s Island, where the 1st South Carolina Volunteers were stationed in the tense buildup to Fort Sumter. Cover with part of backflap missing. Signed by James Taff. The second cover, sent in reply from Charleston to Marion Court House on March 1, 1861, bears an 1857-61 3c dull red Washington tied by a bold black circular grid with matching “Charleston, S.C. Mar 1 1861” cds. The stamp is affixed upside-down - a common nineteenth-century gesture of affection when a man wrote to a woman - reflecting the personal nature of the correspondence. John McClenaghan would later serve as Regimental Quartermaster with the 21st South Carolina Infantry Regiment but died in Charleston in March 1863. Much of the couple’s wartime correspondence is preserved today in the Manuscript Division of the University of South Carolina. Signed by Patricia A. Kaufmann. A fine, evocative pair of U.S. postage used in the Confederacy covers, beautifully illustrating a husband-and-wife correspondence during the final weeks before the outbreak of hostilities in Charleston Harbor.

42 c   image(24) 1857–61 1c blue Franklin Type V, three singles, canceled by black circular grid cancels on cover with matching "Charleston, S.C. Mar 16, 1861" cds and addressed to Rev. William M. Reid, Mayesville, Sumter District, South Carolina. An attractive and instructive example of United States postage used within the Confederacy, mailed during the early weeks following South Carolina’s secession and prior to the Confederacy's takeover of postal operations in the Southern states. The three 1¢ Franklins correctly pay the then current U.S. domestic rate. The addressee, Rev. William Moultrie Reid, was a prominent Presbyterian minister in South Carolina. A graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary in 1833, Reid soon thereafter began supplying Mt. Zion Presbyterian Church in Sumter District. He remained pastor of the congregation for nearly four decades, serving until 1872, and was a well-known religious and civic figure in the region throughout the antebellum and wartime periods. A fine and visually appealing U.S. stamps-in-Confederacy usage, combining postal, ecclesiastical, and early Civil War transitional significance. Signed by John L. Kimbrough (7-7-2010). (Image)

43 c   image1860 3c Nesbitt “Star Die” stamped envelope sent from Charleston, South Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland and used with clear “Charleston S.C. Apr 29” (1861) cds, mailed just two weeks after the attack on Fort Sumter that opened the Civil War. The 1861 year-date is established by the use of the “Star Die” envelope, issued in October 1860 and valid in the South until demonetization on June 1. Addressed to John E. Chamberlain, Messenger at the Odd Fellows Hall, Baltimore. Despite the outbreak of hostilities, correspondence between the seceded states and the loyal states continued temporarily under the U.S. postal system until the Confederate Post Office Department assumed control of Southern mails on June 1, 1861. This Northbound letter - posted in the immediate aftermath of national rupture - illustrates how private and fraternal business continued even as political relations collapsed. A fine and interesing example of U.S. postage used in the Confederacy going to an addressee in the North carried after the firing on Fort Sumter, documenting the last weeks of permitted interstate mail before postal separation between North and South became complete.

44 c   image(26) 1857 3c dull red Washington tied by a bold Memphis, Tennessee cds on Confederate patriotic envelope featuring the early seven-star flag design (Dietz F7-5), addressed to L. C. Goodwin Esq., Helena, Arkansas, April 3, 1861. Mailed nine days before the attack on Fort Sumter and more than a month prior to either Tennessee or Arkansas formally seceding from the Union. The seven-star flag depicted was the official national flag of the Confederate States beginning March 4, 1861, representing the first seven seceded states; it remained current until Virginia’s admission to the Confederacy on May 7, 1861. This remarkable early usage was carried under U.S. postal authority, illustrating the overlap between federal and Confederate systems during the transitional months preceding the establishment of the Confederate Post Office Department on June 1, 1861. Stamp slighty affected by edge placement, otherwise fine and very scarce. Ex Myerson & Smith. (Image)

45 c   image1860 3c Nesbitt “Star Die” entire sent from Chapel Hill, Texas and used by the town's distinctive black five-pointed star cancel with matching “Chapel Hill, Tex. Feb 10” (1861) cds at center and sent to Messrs. Carroll, Hoy & Co., New Orleans, Louisiana. Although the Chapel Hill postmark lacks a year date, the use of the 3c “Star Die” entire - introduced in late 1860 and demonetized in mid-1861 - firmly establishes the year as 1861. Texas’s path to secession was procedurally complex. While the Ordinance of Secession was adopted on February 1, 1861, it did not become legally effective until ratification by popular referendum on February 23, with independence formally commencing on March 2, 1861. As a result, covers from February 1861 occupy a particularly nuanced and important position in Texas postal history, reflecting the transitional period in which state authority was asserted while United States postal operations continued uninterrupted. The addressee, Carroll, Hoy & Co. of New Orleans, appears on numerous Southern commercial covers of the period, yet this example stands apart for its clear Independent State context and small-town Texas origin. Tiny file holes present, characteristic of all mail received and filed by Hoy & Co during this era. A scarce and historically significant cover from the period surrounding Texas Independent Statehood, documenting postal continuity and political transition between the state convention and the popular referendum, immediately preceding Texas’s admission to the Confederacy on March 5, 1861.

46 c   image1860 3c Nesbitt “Star Die” buff stamped envelope used from Galveston, Texas to Houston, tied by a black grid cancel with matching “Galveston, Tex Apr 16, 1861” cds. The “Star Die” envelope, issued in October 1860, establishes the 1861 usage. Mailed during Texas’s 87-day period of U.S. postage use in the Confederacy (March 6–June 1, 1861). Addressed to James T. D. Wilson (spelled “Willson” by the sender), son of Robert “Honest Bob” Wilson, one of the founders of Harrisburg (modern Harris County). James Wilson would later serve two terms as Mayor of Houston during Reconstruction. Galveston, the earliest-established post office in Texas (1836), was the state’s leading commercial port—an antebellum rival to New Orleans in the cotton trade. As such, it produced some of the most desirable early-Confederate Texas postal usages. Small part of backflap missing but still a fine U.S. postage used in the Confederacy cover, mailed at the dawn of the Civil War. Signed by John L. Kimbrough (1-28-2001). (Image)

47 c   image(26) 1857-61 3c dull red Washington tied by clear “Lynchburg, Virginia Apr 17, 1861” cds on cover addressed to Oakville P.O., Appomattox County, Virginia. Part of backflaps missing, otherwise presentable, with contemporary docketing at left—“Ans May 9th 1861”—firmly confirming the year of use. This cover represents a first-day Virginia Independent State usage, postmarked on April 17, 1861 - the exact date on which the Virginia Convention adopted the Ordinance of Secession. Unlike several Deep South states, Virginia’s secession was procedurally complex: although the ordinance required subsequent ratification by popular referendum (held May 23), it explicitly declared that, if approved, secession would be deemed effective retroactively as of April 17. As a result, Virginia entered a brief but legally meaningful period as an independent state, prior to its formal admission to the Confederacy on May 7, 1861. During this interregnum, postal operations continued uninterrupted under United States administration, with U.S. postage remaining valid until Confederate postal authorities assumed control on June 1, 1861. A scarce and historically significant Virginia Independent State cover, documenting postal continuity on the precise day of secession. With 2000 Confederate Stamp Alliance certificate. (Image)

48 c   image(26) 1857 3c dull red Washington canceled by neat manuscript cancel on cover with matching “Fords Va / April 19/61” manuscript postmark, addressed to Miss M. F. Branch, care of Major Walker, Allen’s Creek P.O., Virginia. Mailed just two days after Virginia’s secession from the Union, this cover represents the brief period of Independent State Usage when seceded states, prior to joining the Confederacy, continued to rely on the U.S. Post Office Department for internal mail transmission. Allen’s Creek was a small rural settlement on the James River north of Appomattox, now vanished. Ford’s Depot, located on the South Side Railroad west of Petersburg, would later become the site of the final battle of the Siege of Petersburg (April 1865, Battle of Five Forks) and evolve into the modern town of Ford, Virginia. A fine and interesting transitional usage from Virginia’s Independent State period, showing continued U.S. postal operations immediately following secession but prior to Confederate postal authority.

49 c   image(26) 1857-61 3c dull red Washington used by blue grid cancel with matching blue “Lexington Va. Apr 30” (1861) cds on cover addressed to George Wm. White, San Marino, Dinwiddie, Va. Contemporary docketed at upper left “Apr 29, 61,” and mailed less than two weeks after Virginia adopted its Ordinance of Secession on April 17, 1861. The 3c rate reflects continued use of United States postal adhesives during the transitional secession period, prior to the formal establishment of Confederate postal operations on June 1, 1861. San Marino was a plantation locality in Dinwiddie County in south-central Virginia, while Lexington, in the Shenandoah Valley, was home to the Virginia Military Institute and Washington College. Covers from this narrow window illustrate the brief interval in which Virginia functioned as an independent state yet still relied upon the U.S. Post Office Department for the carriage of internal correspondence. A fine and appealing example of Virginia Independent State usage, showing continued U.S. postal service in the immediate aftermath of secession but before Confederate postal authority took effect.

50 c   image(26) 1857-61 3c dull red Washington tied by bold “Richmond Va. May 1, 1861” cds on all-over illustrated semi-official State of Virginia Executive Department envelope addressed to Gen. J. L. Kemper, Madison CH, Virginia. A striking and highly desirable example of Independent State usage, posted just two weeks after Virginia’s secession (April 17, 1861) and during its brief 20-day period as an independent republic prior to joining the Confederacy on May 7. Semi-official envelopes required full postage payment, as neither U.S. nor Confederate franking privileges applied. At the time of this correspondence, James Kemper was a prominent Virginia political and military figure, serving as a Brigadier General in the state militia. He would later gain lasting fame leading his Brigade of Confederate regulars in Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, where he was gravely wounded, before returning to public life and serving as Governor of Virginia (1874–1878). The sender, Col. Francis Henney Smith, was the legendary first Superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute. During this period he was in Richmond serving on an “Emergency Council” convened by Governor Letcher to provide military and administrative advice following Virginia’s secession. Madison Court House (now Madison) lies in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, roughly 90 miles northwest of Richmond. Some stains affect the cover and stamp, but still a worthwhile and historically significant Independent State Usage combining a rare semi-official government envelope, early-war Richmond origin, and connection between two consequential figures of Virginia.

51 c   image(26) 1857-61 3c dull red Washington tied by a bold blue “Petersburg, Va. May 8” (1861) cds on cover addressed to Mr. John Fitzgerald, Blacks & Whites, Va. The 1861 year-date is confirmed by the original letter dated May 7, 1861, which accompanies the cover. Mailed during Virginia’s brief 25-day period of U.S. postage use in the Confederacy (April 17–May 31, 1861), reflecting the rapid transition in postal operations after Virginia’s secession. Despite what the name might imply, “Blacks & Whites” had no racial connotation; the name arose from two tavern keepers - John Schwarz (“Black” in German) and Francis White - whose establishments stood at the crossroads where the town developed. The locality later became known as Blackstone. The addressee, John Fitzgerald, was a prosperous 54-year-old plantation owner living near Blacks & Whites with his wife Martha and nine of their children. Four adult children lived nearby. Although situated on the strategic South Side Railroad, Blacks & Whites saw little direct military action during the war; the one cavalry raid in the region occurred in June 1864, aimed at disrupting Richmond–Danville rail service. The subsequent fighting shifted northward, ultimately culminating at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. A fine and appealing Virginia U.S. postage use in the Confederacy cover, accompanied by its original letter and posted during the narrow window between Virginia’s secession and the Confederate postal takeover.

52 c   image(26) 1857-61 3c dull red Washington used by a manuscript pen cancel but legible cds on Seven-Star Confederate Flag patriotic cover printed by Rea's Rotary Press Print, New Orleans and mailed from Bath Court House (now Warm Springs), Virginia to Wilmington, Fluvanna County, dated May 13, 1861. The year-date is established by the presence of a U.S. stamp on a Confederate patriotic envelope- which only overlapped with the May of 1861. The seven-star flag represents the First Confederate National Flag, adopted March 4, 1861, and is the most frequently encountered design on early-war Confederate patriotics. Addressed to Ashley Johnson Bell, a 45-year-old lawyer who was too old for Confederate military service; his only son, at thirteen, was too young to enlist. Bell resided in Wilmington, situated between Richmond and Charlottesville in a region of Virginia that would see comparatively little fighting. As a result, the Bell family avoided much of the devastation that swept across other parts of the state during the war. A range of pen doodles on reverse and lightened pen notations on the front plus general cover wear, though still a desirable Virginia U.S. postage used in the Confederacy patriotic cover, combining a popular early flag design with a U.S. 3c franking during the brief window when U.S. postage remained valid in the newly seceded Virginia.

54 c   image(5X1) Athens, Georgia 1861 5c purple Postmaster's Provisional, Types I & II top-right sheet corner horizontal pair, used by black grid cancels on cover to Lieut. John B. Cobb, Cobb’s Georgia Legion, Yorktown, Virginia with “Athens Ga. Paid Oct. 14” (1861) cds at right. Minor corner crease at bottom right of stamp and and cover slightly reduced at right, still very fine appearing in every respect. Printed locally by The Banner Watchman from two side-by-side woodcut designs, the Athens provisional is one of the most distinctive and recognizable of all Confederate Postmasters’ Provisional issues. The deep purple shade of this pair is especially vivid, and its placement from the top-right corner of the sheet is easily confirmed by the characteristic rough-cut margins on two sides. Lieutenant John Boswell Cobb, the addressee, was the younger brother of Confederate generals Howell Cobb and Thomas R. R. Cobb, serving in Company D of Cobb’s Georgia Legion. He participated in the Peninsula Campaign, including the Battles of Yorktown and Lee’s Mill in April 1862, and the Seven Days Battles that summer, which helped save Richmond from McClellan’s army. An important example of this iconic Confederate Postmaster's Provisional, representing one of only 21 recorded covers bearing Athens 5c pairs (Crown census). A standout item with an illustrious pedigree. Ex Ferrary, Emerson, Brooks, Duckworth and Wulfekuhler; signed Ashbrook, cat. value $7,000. (Image)

55 c   image(6XU2, 1) Atlanta, Geo. “PAID 5” Postmaster’s Provisional handstamped envelope overstruck by "Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 28, 1861" cds tying a 5c green adhesive affixed directly over the provisional marking. Manuscript “Due 5” added to collect the additional postage required for the 10c rate on mail traveling more than 500 miles to Capt. J. A. R. Hanks, Asst. Q.M., 22nd Georgia Regt., Norfolk, Va. Tiny margin tears to the adhesive, with stamp lifted and hinged to the right for display, exposing the underlying provisional marking. This cover represents the only recorded use of a Confederate General Issue adhesive on this Atlanta Postmaster’s Provisional envelope type - a key transitional artifact marking the close of the Stampless Period and the emergence of fully government-issued Confederate postage. Although the unused handstamped Atlanta provisional envelopes had been prepared earlier in 1861, their use was never mandatory. When the new 5¢ lithographed stamps began reaching post offices in late autumn, Atlanta clerks simply treated remaining provisional envelopes as ordinary stationery. Here, the sender paid the 5c rate with the newly issued adhesive, but because the distance from Atlanta to Norfolk exceeded 500 miles, the correct postage was 10c. The Atlanta postmaster therefore added the manuscript “Due 5” to charge the remaining amount to the recipient - consistent with regulations allowing a soldier’s letter, properly endorsed with the addressee’s rank and unit, to be delivered postage-due rather than returned. The addressee, Capt. James A. R. Hanks, joined the 22nd Georgia on July 19, 1861 as Assistant Quartermaster and served until his discharge for disability in June 1862. He later entered state service, ultimately becoming Quartermaster for the State of Georgia. At the time this cover was mailed, the 22nd Georgia was serving in the Norfolk defenses under Col. Robert H. Jones. A fine and rare piece of Confederate postal history - one of only a handful of known uses of a General Issue stamp used on any Postmaster’s Provisional envelope. An exceptional exhibit item bridging Confederate provisional and adhesive-stamp postal uses at the end of 1861. Ex Tate, signed John L. Kimbrough (5-17-2009), with 1999 PSE certificate. (Image)

56 O   image(11X3) Baton Rouge, Louisiana Postmaster’s Provisional, 1861 5c green and carmine, exhibiting large portion of the above stamp's bottom lattice-border and used with partial black Baton Rouge cds. Small thin at bottom left corner, not detracting from the overall fine appearance. The Baton Rouge 5c lattice-border provisional was typeset using lattice border elements, with the internal inscription “P.O. / Baton Rouge, La. / 5 / J. McCormick” identical to that used for the contemporaneous 5c Maltese cross border issue. The plate consisted of two horizontal rows of five subjects, and the stamps were printed at the offices of the Baton Rouge Daily Gazette & Comet, illustrating the improvised nature of early Confederate Postmasters' Provisional stamp production. The Baton Rouge provisional ranks among the most desirable Confederate Postmasters’ Provisionals, issued during the brief interval following Louisiana’s secession and prior to the introduction of general Confederate adhesives. According to the census maintained by Francis J. Crown Jr. and hosted on the Civil War Philatelic Society's website, only 21 examples of this stamp are recorded, including two unused, eight used off cover, and eleven used on cover. Used examples are typically found closely cut and with condition issues, making this off-cover example better than the norm in overall condition and appearance. Accompanied by a 2006 Philatelic Foundation Certificate, cat. value $4,000. (Image)

57 c   image(14XU1) Canton, Mississippi black fancy “PAID 5 & star-in-circle” Postmaster Provisional handstamp boldly struck at upper right on cover to Carroll, Hoy & Co., New Orleans, Louisiana, with matching “Canton, Mi. Jul 24” (1861) cds at left. The strike of Priestly’s star device—featuring the distinctive script “P” at center for Postmaster William Priestly—is unusually sharp and complete. Usual small filing pinholes from the receiving firm’s routine practice of attaching incoming correspondence. Prepared during the earliest months of the provisional period, Priestly’s carved woodcut star is one of the most visually appealing and immediately recognizable Confederate provisional markings. Only 36 Canton 5c provisional covers are recorded in the Crown Survey maintained by the Civil War Philatelic Society, and examples with such outstanding strikes of both the star and datestamp are decidedly scarce. This is also one of the earliest recorded examples, very fine. Ex Wiseman, Hart, Kilbourne, cat. value $2,000. (Image)

The backflap with some repairs visible at top center with small sealed tear, stains at lower and upper right slightly affecting the stamp. Prepared by the Charleston printing firm Evans & Cogswell under the direction of Postmaster Alfred Huger, the 5¢ adhesive provisional stamps were placed on sale only three weeks before this letter was mailed. Fewer than seventy on-cover examples are recorded, with September uses among the earliest known. The addressee, Henry Coalter Cabell, was then serving in the 1st Virginia Artillery Regiment, later rising to become Chief of Artillery for McLaws’s Division in Longstreet’s Corps. Cabell participated in many of the war’s major battles—Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. A nice early use of the Charleston 5c blue adhesive provisional on cover to a Confederate officer who would have a busy war ahead of him following reciept of this cover. Cat. value $1,750. (Image)
