ONE OF TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE MANUSCRIPT BATON ROUGE POSTMARK APPLIED DURING THE SECOND CONFEDERATE OCCUPATION PERIOD. A REMARKABLE USE OF THE BATON ROUGE ROULETTE.

After Federal troops evacuated Baton Rouge on August 21, 1862, the Confederates operated the post office on a restricted basis until it was re-occupied by U.S. forces in December 1862. The old handstamp town marking was not available during this period, thus the necessity to cancel mail in manuscript.

With 1984 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail for pair of Baton Rouge roulettes on cover is $3,750.00 (with normal circular datestamp) (Image)

Apr. 18, 1862 river mail double-circle datestamp> on bluish gray5c Green, Stone 1, Baton Rouge Roulette (1 var). Position 21 acid flaw on cheek, roulettes on three sides, large s.e. at left, distinctive yellowish shade, tied by "New Orleans La. Apr. 18, 1862" river mail double-circle datestamp on bluish gray cover to Carroll Hoy & Co., usual filing pinholes

AN EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE USE OF THE BATON ROUGE ROULETTE. THIS COVER ORIGINATED AT BATON ROUGE AND WAS CARRIED BY STEAMBOAT DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THE NEW ORLEANS WHARF OFFICE CANCELLED THE STAMP WITH THE DOUBLE-CIRCLE DATESTAMP USED EXCLUSIVELY ON RIVER-BOAT MAIL, JUST TEN DAYS BEFORE THE FEDERAL CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.

It is believed that the postmasters in New Orleans and Baton Rouge (and possibly other waterway post offices) had an arrangement by which stamps of either office would be accepted on mail posted from river boats. In evidence of this practice is a cover to Berwick City, Louisiana, with the Baton Rouge postmaster's provisional stamp cancelled by the New Orleans double-circle river-boat datestamp dated January 31, 1862 (ex Caspary, see 1984 Rarities sale, lot 11). There are also examples of New Orleans provisionals cancelled at Baton Rouge and other offices along the Mississippi River (Grant sale).

Covers addressed to New Orleans with the first General Issue tied by the river-boat double-circle datestamp are scarce, but enough exist to show that mail was regularly received from river boats and processed wharfside. Unless the contents are present or the cover is docketed with sufficient information, it is impossible to pinpoint the origins of these inbound New Orleans river-mail covers. In this case, the use of a 5c General Issue with the unofficial pierce en scie roulette made at Baton Rouge leaves no doubt as to the origin. The cover was postmarked at the New Orleans wharf on April 18, 1862, the first day of bombardments by Federal naval forces against forts below New Orleans and just ten days before the city surrendered to Admiral Farragut. Baton Rouge fell on May 7th. We have not been able to locate another example of the Baton Rouge roulette cancelled at New Orleans.
