Civil War and Confederate States Stamps and Postal History continued...

Postmasters Provisionals: Charleston S.C. thru Dalton Ga.
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
3057 E ImageCharleston S.C., 2c Brown, 10c Blue Green, Essays on Wove (Dietz E-11, E-12). Large to huge margins on watermarked paper, 2c similar to design used for the entires and issued stamp, 10c also similar but with Palmetto tree at center as on the 1862 10c provisional entire, both with strong colors without the light toning sometimes encountered

VERY FINE. A RARE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT AND 10-CENT CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA PROVISIONAL ESSAYS.

Little is known about these designs, except that they are printed on the same paper as the issued 5c stamps. The Calhoun book notes it seems likely the postmaster originally considered the idea of 2c, 5c and 10c stamps and that the 2c and 10c were likely discarded due to the cost of printing.
