ONLY EIGHT EXAMPLES OF THE DANVILLE ADHESIVE ARE RECORDED -- OF THESE ONLY FOUR HAVE RECTANGULAR MARGINS AND ONLY THIS STAMP IS PRINTED ON LAID PAPER, WHICH DESERVES A SEPARATE MAJOR CATALOGUE LISTING. Our records of the rare Danville provisional stamp include eight examples, as follows. Rectangular-cut margins: 1) on piece dated Oct. 3, ex Ferrary, Caspary, 2) laid paper, off-cover with bottom right corner clipped, the stamp offered here, ex Hind, 3) dated Oct. 4, affixed to a cover, ex Hessel and Kilbourne, 4) tied on cover, Oct. 9, ex Caspary, Lilly, Octagonal margins or cut to shape: 5) off cover, dated Oct. 3, ex Caspary, 6) tied on cover, Oct. 29, ex Emerson, 7) tied on cover, Oct. 30, ex Kimmel, and 8) cut to small oval shape, dated Oct. 11, ex Deats (P.F. photo files). Only four rectangular-cut examples of the Danville provisional stamp are recorded. Until now, we had to rely on earlier descriptions of this stamp's paper. Now that we have had the opportunity to examine it, we can state unequivocally that the paper has strong vertical laid lines. Therefore, it deserves a major Scott number (21X2) and recognition as the only recorded Danville adhesive on laid paper. This is truly one of the rarest of all Confederate provisionals, and should not be confused with its more numerous counterpart from Pittsylvania Court House, which is known on wove and laid paper.
