CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA #11 cover with GIANT stamp E A Vogler SALEM NC VF

CSA COVER WITH COLORED CANCEL: 10c Davis; Type A, (Scott, tied to cover by RED Madison NC balloon postmark, stamp has huge margins but UL corner off, still only barely touches design, addr Yanceyville NC, some minor foxing, colored cancels are truly unusual on CSA stamps, Fine-VF.


Madison NC is listed in Dietz as one of fifty-five towns that used Red cancels. That may sound like a lot, but these cancels are truly unusual, especially so true to color like this example. From the GLADSTONE hoard of CSA STAMPS.
