 The Clippert Collection of
Confederate Arkansas. Approximately 80 covers with Arkansas postal
markings during the Confederate period, a few early usages with U.S. 3c
1857's incl. "Cearcy Ark. May 28" (1861) spelling error, , mostly stampless
Paids and Dues but also an excellent selection of General Issues (Nos. 1,
4, 7, 11, 12), handstamped town datestamps incl. Arkadelphia, Camden,
Eldorado, Fayetteville, Helena, Hillsboro, Lewisburg, Little Rock,
Magnolia, Pine Bluff, Princeton, Van Buren, Washington, some very scarce
manuscript towns incl. "3 Creeks" and "Rocky Comfort", some addressed to
Arkansas from other places, adversity usages and soldiers' letters, a few
Union usages incl. flag-of-truce with U.S. 3c 1861 tied by Fort Smith cds,
some related documents and war bond, although the condition reflects
typical wartime conditions, overall it is far better than average for
Confederate Arkansas, most are exhibit-worthy and attractive, the average
value per cover is $100-150, but many were purchased for more than $300
over the past 20 years (total cost $13,000 plus) -- the nucleus of a
significant Confederate Arkansas collection, and a bonanza for the retail
dealer, eBay or mail auction seller (Image) |
