Lot 4248 Confederate States Postmasters' Provisionals
- Scott45XU1
Description
Jonesboro Tenn., 5c Black entire (45XU1). Clearly struck provisional handstamp, cancelled by "Jonesboro Tenn. Dec. 24" (1861) circular datestamp on bright buff cover to Rutledge Tenn., sealed backflap tears EXTREMELY FINE. THE JONESBORO PROVISIONAL IN BLACK, SCOTT 45XU1, IS SIGNIFICANTLY RARER THAN ITS BLUE COUNTERPART. ONLY FIVE EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED IN THE CROWN SURVEY, AND THIS IS AMONG THE FINEST. Jonesboro (also spelled Jonesborough) is Tennessee’s oldest town and was originally part of North Carolina. It was one of the towns in eastern Tennessee that joined to form the State of Franklin, which never received congressional approval. Jonesboro was the source of abolitionist activity before the war, and many residents remained pro-Union even after Tennessee joined the Confederate States. Ex Dr. Brandon. The Crown census lists 19 examples of the Jonesboro provisional entire, including 5 struck in Black (45XU1) and 14 in Dark Blue (45XU2). Some of these do not have any town datestamp. SCV $6,000
