VERY FINE AND RARE INCOMING BLOCADE-RUN COVER, PREPAID WITH A CONFEDERATE GENERAL ISSUE STAMP AND EXAMINED IN WILMINGTON.

Blockade-run covers rarely bear stamps and when a Confederate General Issue is present it is usually for forwarding postage, with the initial postage due in cash. This cover, prepaid before arrival at Wilmington, is a remarkable exception. It was actually overpaid, as the in-port ship fee was 6c, but there were no 1c Confederate stamps ever issued so a 4c overpayment is necessary on a prepaid in-port ship letter (Image)
