Lot 4249 Confederate States Postmasters' Provisionals
- Scott47X1
Description
Knoxville Tenn., 5c Carmine on Grayish Laid (47X2). Intense shade and impression, three full to large margins, slightly into frameline at left, tied by partly clear strike of "Knoxville Ten. 5 Paid" circular rate handstamp (listed as Scott 47XU5) on cover to Richmond Va., "Richmond Va. Oct. 23, 1861" circular datestamp and "Advertised 2" in ornately framed handstamp VERY FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE KNOXVILLE "PAID 5" HANDSTAMP ON THE 5-CENT PROVISIONAL STAMP AND THE ONLY "ADVERTISED" COVER WITH A KNOXVILLE PROVISIONAL. There are probably no more than ten covers extant with the Knoxville 5c provisional (either shade) tied by a handstamped marking -- more than half of the known covers are manuscript cancelled. Only three recorded Knoxville provisional stamps are known tied by the "Paid 5" in circle, and only one, this cover, has an "Advertised" marking. Ex Worthington, Caspary, Weatherly, Kilbourne and Powell. With 2015 P.F. certificate. SCV $7,500 with no premium for the auxiliary marking
