 Missouri into Confederate
Arkansas. 3c Red Nesbitt Entire (U9) to a Dr. Snyder in Camden Ark.,
clear "Bolivar Mo. Apr. 30" (1861) circular datestamp and additional
"Camden Ark. Jun. 5" circular datestamp and ms. "For./5 due"
at left, waterstains at right, otherwise Fine, very rare and unusual
combination of U.S. and Confederate rates before and after June 1, 1861,
the cover is not redirected to another post office, presumably the
forwarding notation indicates that the U.S. 3c was not recognized and that
Dr. Snyder's mail was held pending his return or a new address (Image) |
