919 c imageDanville Va., 5c Red on Wove (21X1). Rectangular margins slightly into tips of ornaments, bottom right corner clipped very slightly, "Danville Ga.

FINE AND IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE PROVISIONAL RARITY. ONLY EIGHT EXAMPLES OF THE DANVILLE ADHESIVE ARE RECORDED -- OF THESE ONLY FOUR HAVE RECTANGULAR MARGINS.

Our records of the rare Danville provisional stamp include eight examples, as follows. Rectangular-cut margins: 1) on piece dated Oct. 3, ex Ferrary, Caspary, 2) off-cover with bottom right corner clipped, ex Hind, reported to be on laid paper, 3) the stamp offered here, dated Oct. 4, affixed to a cover, ex Hessel and Kilbourne, 4) tied on cover, Oct. 9, ex Caspary, Lilly, Octagonal margins or cut to shape: 5) off cover, dated Oct. 3, ex Caspary, 6) tied on cover, Oct. 29, ex Emerson, 7) tied on cover, Oct. 30, ex Kimmel, and 8) cut to small oval shape, dated Oct. 11, ex Deats (P.F. photo files).

The stamp offered here is affixed to a cover, but the absence of a tying postmark and position of the stamp raise doubt in our mind as to whether it originated. Mr. Kilbourne believed that the stamp was removed from the back and placed on the front. In any case, it is the third finest rectangular-cut example of the Danville provisional stamp and one of the rarest of all Confederate provisionals, not to be confused with its more numerous counterpart from Pittsylvania Court House.
