Confederate States of America. The stamps of CSA are fun to collect and a challenge to find. Please keep in mind that these stamps were printed and used, and later stored, under difficult and crude conditions. Quality standards are not the same for CSA stamps as they are for most other stamps. Due to climatic conditions the effects of aging are typically seen.

6, April 1862 Five Cents Jefferson Davis, Light Blue. Three-margin example neatly tied on reverse of a "visiting card" envelope as both postage and a letter seal. Year date not visible; appears to be canceled ROM(E), Georgia, and mailed to Atlanta. Quite an attractive cover, unusual on a small envelope, and in unusually nice quality.
7, August 1862 Five Cents Jefferson Davis, Local Printing, Blue. Pair on small piece. Used with neat "X" manuscript cancellations. Left stamp VF, sound and with full margins, right stamp F-VF and stained.
11 Intense Deep Blue, 1864 Keatinge and Ball Printing, Die A, 10 Cents Jefferson Davis. Typical blurred / filled background of the Keatinge and Ball printings. Used VF with four huge margins on attractive cover to Clarkesville, Virginia. The cover has typical wear and a stain will away from the stamp. The stamp bears what I have been told is a "W. Army Camp grid" cancellation, however the cancel does not appear to tie the stamp to the cover. However, viewing from inside the cover, it is very clear that the stamp has been on the cover for an extremely long time. I believe that the stamp does belong on the cover and guarantee it as such, however cost of expertizing to be borne by the purchaser.

11c Greenish Blue, 1863 Archer and Daly Printing, Die A, 10 Cents Jefferson Davis. Used VF with four full margins, two of which are huge; this may be an upper right sheet margin corner example. Neat bar cancellation, not a manuscript cancel. Extremely clear and sharp printing.
12 (Grayish) Blue, 1863 Archer and Daly Printing, Die B, 10 Cents Jefferson Davis. Filled-in lower corners typical of #12 (Die B) and with virtually no remnants of the additional outer frame line. Used VF, with three huge and one close margins. Neat and light cancellation, but which does cut the paper slightly. Clear and sharp printing. A remarkable color which I have not seen before and does not seem to be listed in the catalogs. Very attractive with unusual appearance!
