10c Milky Blue, Frameline (10a). Unused (no gum), showing full frameline at bottom, most of frameline at left and half of frameline at right, with double transfer in "Postage", small toned spot by cheek and some slight oxidation at sides VERY FINE APPEARING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT FRAMELINE ISSUE IN THE MILKY BLUE COLOR, WITH A DOUBLE TRANSFER AND SHOWING MUCH OF THREE FRAMELINES. The framelines between the stamps define Scott 10. The lines were engraved on the copper plate and served as a guide for the siderographer when aligning the transfers to make the plate. Each stamp shares framelines with the adjoining positions, so examples showing multiple framelines are scarce. With 2011 P.F. certificate.

New Orleans La., 5c Red (62X6). Unused (no gum), full even margins all around, pure bright Orange Red shade with traces of brown ink pigment at top right EXTREMELY FINE. THE ONLY UNUSED EXAMPLE AMONG SEVEN RECORDED OF THE NEW ORLEANS 5-CENT RED—INCLUDING FOUR ON WHITE PAPER FROM THE FIRST PRINTING. AN OUTSTANDING CONFEDERATE PROVISIONAL RARITY. There is only one true color error among all Confederate postmasters' provisionals: the New Orleans 5c Red, which is found on both White and Bluish papers. In his 1978 Congress Book article, Dr. Hubert C. Skinner theorized that either "too much red ink was introduced onto the platen in blending the brown ink or the components of the ink separated while the press was idle for a time." This, he speculated, "produced a mottled impression on a very few sheets" and "would have been corrected as soon as the rollers passed across the platen a few times re-mixing or blending the ink." The discovery of the hybrid Red-and-Brown stamp (Sale 1022, lot 1101) confirmed Dr. Skinner's theory. The ink mixture error had to have occurred more than once, because the stamps on White paper were printed in June, and the stamps on Blue paper were printed in August. The five stamps offered in lots 1100 to 1104 in our 2012 sale of the "D.K." collection (Sale 1022) constituted the largest number of the New Orleans 5c Red color error ever assembled by one collector. The perfect unused stamp offered here, which was listed in the 1943 Brooks sale catalogue, eluded "D.K." for the entire time he was collecting. Unbeknownst to the collecting community, it was hidden in the Haub collection in Germany. We assume it passed from Brooks to John R. Boker, Jr. (possibly through other hands in between), and then was sold to Haub in the 1970s. It is, without question, the finest of the few known New Orleans 5c Red stamps—it is the only sound copy and only unused copy. Our records contain seven examples of the 5c Red error (the CWPS lists six of them): White Paper (62X6): NEW-LA-A07-001: Unused, ex Ferrary, Hind, Brooks, Boker and Haub ("Erivan"), the example offered here NEW-LA-A07-002: "DUE (3cts)" straightline, partly rebacked over thins, ex Caspary, Lilly, Kilbourne and "D.K." collection, last offered in Sale 1289, lot 754 NEW-LA-A07-Unlisted: Cut in at bottom, tied by "PAID" straightline on part of cover to Mrs. Wm. Reynaud, Baton Rouge, photo by Hiram Deats in P.F. files NEW-LA-A07-005: Mixture of Red and Brown, corner strike of circular datestamp, partly rebacked over thins and tear, ex "D.K." collection Blue Paper (62X7): NEW-LA-A08-006: Dec. 4 circular datestamp, thin spots and small repair, ex Crocker, Felton and "D.K." collection NEW-LA-A08-004: Sep. 17 circular datestamp, small faults, ex Ferrary, Hind, Lilly and "D.K." collection NEW-LA-A08-003: Position 1, "PAID" and part datestamp, thinned with small nicks at left, ex Caspary, Dr. Skinner and "D.K." collection. CWPS census no. NEW-LA-A07-001. Ex Ferrary, Hind, Brooks, Boker and Haub ("Erivan"). With 2023 C.W.P.S. certificate. SCV $18,500.

Pleasant Shade Va., 5c Blue (67X1). Position 5, unused (no gum), full to large margins, couple small flaws including tiny nicks at bottom, tiny edge thin or tear at top and trivial toning specks VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE PLEASANT SHADE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL. The tiny town of Pleasant Shade had a population of 57 in 1860. Robert E. Davis was appointed U.S. postmaster by President James Buchanan on January 11, 1860. He was appointed C.S.A. postmaster on July 27, 1861, and was replaced by Eugene W. Spratley on July 14, 1863 (Richard L. Calhoun, The Confederate Postmaster Provisionals of Virginia). Postmaster Davis had his provisional stamps printed at Andrew F. Crutchfield & Company, publisher of the local Petersburg newspaper, The Daily Express. This was the firm that printed the nearly identical Petersburg provisionals. Crutchfield & Co. used five of the settings from the Petersburg form, substituting the names of the post office and postmaster, and printing the Pleasant Shade stamps in blue instead of red. The CWPS census records the following: unused block of six, unused vertical pair, 11 unused singles, used single off cover, used single on piece, three singles on covers and one pair on cover, for a total of 26 stamps. CWPS census no. PLE-VA-A01-012. Ex Ferrary, Dr. Graves and Dr. Brandon. SCV $6,000.

Tellico Plains Tenn., 5c Red (81X1). Setting B with comma after "Johnson", unused (no gum), huge margins three sides to ample at bottom, paper with clear laid lines VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL LARGE-MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT TELLICO PLAINS POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL. The Rheatown and Tellico Plains provisionals were printed by the same printer, using a typeset form of three subjects. For the Tellico Plains provisional, which probably followed the Rheatown, the post office and postmaster's names were changed, and the third subject at right was reset with a 10c denomination. Only two are known used, including one on cover, offered in this sale as lot 3354 (both are December 1861 dates). Ex Pegram. With 2006 C.S.A. certificate. SCV $2,000.

Uniontown, Alabama, 2c Dark Blue on White (86X2). Pane of four, unused (no gum), huge margins all around, creases with slight soiling and tiny pinpoint breaks in paper THE CELEBRATED AND UNIQUE PANE OF THE UNIONTOWN 2-CENT POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL, DISCOVERED BY THE WEILLS OF NEW ORLEANS IN 1938. NO OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS PRINTING ON WHITE PAPER ARE KNOWN, AND ONLY TWO OTHER UNIONTOWN 2-CENT STAMPS ARE RECORDED (ON GRAY BLUE PAPER, EACH ON COVER). AN EXTRAORDINARY SURVIVAL OF ONE OF THE RAREST STAMPS IN THE WORLD. Uniontown's postmaster at the start of the C.S.A. postal system was Parham N. Booker. Parham, one of eleven children, was the namesake son of a U.S. internal revenue officer. The senior Booker represented Madison County in the legislature in 1836 and moved to Uniontown sometime later. He became a planter and hotel keeper, and he also served as postmaster and mayor of the town. Booker Senior died in 1861, and we are not certain if both father and son ran the post office. Because of a permanent physical disability, Booker Junior did not serve in the Confederate Army, but served the government in a civil department. The Uniontown 2c provisional is one of six 2c provisional stamps issued by Confederate post offices—Baton Rouge, Macon, Memphis, Mobile and New Orleans are the others. The Uniontown and Macon provisionals are the rarest of this group. Of the Macon 2c, just four stamps are known, including three on covers. The Uniontown 2c is represented by this sheet on White paper (the only examples recorded on this paper) and two covers with the 2c on Gray Blue paper, both drop-rate uses, one with a Position 1 top left corner copy (ex Ferrary, Caspary, Lilly, Boker and Haub) and the other with a Position 2 top right corner copy (ex Hessel and Haub). We know of no other examples, nor does the Crown book on the Uniontown provisionals list any others. In an account by telephone, Raymond H. Weill recollected that in 1938 the 2c sheet was brought to the Weills in New Orleans by a woman who had family correspondence from Uniontown. Enclosed with one of the letters inside a cover was the 2c sheet, and the letter commented that these stamps were being used in Uniontown. Regrettably, the letter has long since vanished. The Weills sent the sheet to Alfred H. Caspary, asking for his opinion of genuineness (because the 2c stamp was not listed on white paper), and offering him the sheet. Caspary declared it genuine, but declined the offer, explaining that he was concentrating on covers. Later in 1938, John Klemann of Nassau Stamp Company visited the Weills and bought the sheet, presumably hoping to sell it to Caspary and unaware that the offer had already been made. The sheet remained in Nassau's inventory until the stock was sold in a 1953 H. R. Harmer auction, at which sale the sheet was bought by a Birmingham Ala. collector named J. Hubert Scruggs. It was subsequently donated to Father Flanagan's Boys Town and sold for their benefit in 1991 at an auction by Superior in Los Angeles. Charles Kilbourne acquired the sheet at the Boys Town auction. When the Siegel firm sold the majority of the Kilbourne Confederate provisionals in 1999, William H. Gross was the winning bidder for the 2c Uniontown sheet (Sale 815, lot 152). Charles F. Shreve sold the Gross Confederate collection in 2009 (Spink-Shreves sale, Nov. 19, 2009, lot 41) and at that sale the sheet was acquired by the Hon. J. William Middendorf II. This 2c sheet perfectly illustrates the relative positions of the four different subjects, which are distinctive in the style and arrangement of the corner ornaments and hyphens after the letters "CSA". The solid oval-shaped ornaments (Losenge) are found in the four corners of Positions 1, 3 and 4. Only Position 2 (upper right) has the Lobe corner ornaments at the top and the Loop ornaments at the bottom corners, as well as the Loops above "Paid", making it easily distinguishable from the other positions. Only Position 3 (lower left) has the Losenge corner ornaments at right turned in the wrong direction and the Lobe ornament used instead of the Loop at top (third from the left). Positions 1 and 4 are configured similarly to each other, with Losenge ornaments in the same directions in all four corners; they differ in the "CSA" type arrangement--Position 1 has no hyphen after "A", while Position 4 has a hyphen. CWPS census no. UNI-AL-A02a-050. Illustrated on front cover of Crown, Uniontown, Alabama, Postmaster's Provisionals. Ex Scruggs, Father Flanagan's Boys Town, Kilbourne, Gross, Ambassador Middendorf and Przybyl. With 1987 A.P.S. certificate. SCV $30,000.
