of ...mehr Austin Tex., 10c Black on Buff (9X1). Affixed to upper left corner of envelope by a wafer which shows thru slightly, full margins to touched at left, uncancelled, "Austin Tex. Aug. 23, 1862" double-circle datestamp, addressed to E. S. Matthews, San Antonio Tex., tiny nick in right margin of stamp (still leaving a large margin), cover with minor scuff between stamp and datestamp, backflap tears VERY FINE. ONLY FOUR EXAMPLES OF THE AUSTIN, TEXAS, 10-CENT ADHESIVE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ARE RECORDED, EACH ON COVER. THIS IS ONE OF TWO RECORDED ON BUFF PAPER.Postal records indicate that the Austin postmaster who issued provisional stamps was William Rust (tenure from March 17, 1857, to June 23, 1865). His son, R. S. Rust, is listed in census records and was probably the assistant postmaster (Deaton book, p. 79).The postmaster's provisional 10c adhesive stamp was created by removing the date slugs from the town double-circle datestamp and replacing them with "Paid" and "10". The device was then struck on sheets of ruled paper and cut into individual stamps. On the example offered here, light pencil ruled lines can be seen along the outer margins. The adhesives are known on White or Buff paper. Contrary to the Scott Catalogue's policy, they list both papers as one major number, 9X1, rather than two.The CWPS census records four examples, each used on cover, two on White and two on Buff paper (the A01x listing has an additional "PAID" handstamp on the cover):AUS-TX-A01x-003: White paper, uncancelled, double-circle datestamp and "PAID" on cover to Clerk, County Court, Bexar Co.

Hinkle served in Spaight's 11th Battalion of Texas Volunteers in the Confederate army at Sabine, but health problems caused him to be discharged as unfit for duty in September 1863. Hinkle was appointed postmaster of Beaumont on December 5, 1863, and served until February 22, 1865. (Deaton, pp. 49-50).The stamps were typeset and printed from three different settings: one printed on Pink paper (Scott 12X2), and two on Yellow paper (12X1 and 12X3). A setting of four subjects (two by two) has been reconstructed from the Pink singles (there are no recorded multiples). Each subject has a different arrangement of long and short frame pieces. The printings on Yellow paper were made from two entirely different settings: one slightly smaller than the Pink stamps, and the other much taller with the words "Texas" and "Postage" added to the design, known as the "Large" Beaumont. It is not known where the stamps were printed. The Beaumont Banner newspaper was discontinued in 1861, but the type and press might have been used for other purposes.The Beaumont provisional stamps were printed on two colors of paper: Pink (two shades) and Yellow. The stamps on Yellow paper include 5 of the "Small" provisional (4 on separate covers and one off cover) and the only recorded "Large" Beaumont, used on cover, which is offered in this sale as lot 2164. The stamps on Pink paper are all the "Small" design and include 3 off cover and 13 on separate covers.

William Berry Duncan joined Spaight's 11th Battalion of Texas Volunteers on March 1, 1862, and served three years in the war. Captain Duncan returned to Liberty, Texas, in June 1865. This cover was originally mailed from Liberty to Capt. Duncan at Franklin, Louisiana (probably in June 1862). It was turned inside out and addressed back to Mrs. Duncan at Liberty, circa 1864.CWPS census no. BEA-TX-A01-016. Notation on back "Used twice.

THIS STAMP IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE "LARGE" BEAUMONT POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ISSUE. WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE "ARISTOCRATS" OF AMERICAN PHILATELIC RARITIES. AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A STAMP OF WHICH ONLY ONE IS KNOWN.The Beaumont, Texas, postmaster's provisionals were issued by Reverend Alexander Hinkle, described in Deaton book as a "frail, physically disabled, modest and unassuming Methodist minister." Hinkle served in Spaight's 11th Battalion of Texas Volunteers in the Confederate army at Sabine, but health problems caused him to be discharged as unfit for duty in September 1863. Hinkle was appointed postmaster of Beaumont on December 5, 1863, and served until February 22, 1865. (Deaton, pp. 49-50).The stamps were typeset and printed from three different settings: one printed on Pink paper (Scott 12X2), and two on Yellow paper (12X1 and 12X3). A setting of four subjects (two by two) has been reconstructed from the Pink singles (there are no recorded multiples). Each subject has a different arrangement of long and short frame pieces. The printings on Yellow paper were made from two entirely different settings: one slightly smaller than the Pink stamps, and the other much taller with the words "Texas" and "Postage" added to the design, known as the "Large" Beaumont—the stamp offered here. It is not known where the stamps were printed. The Beaumont Banner newspaper was discontinued in 1861, but the type and press might have been used for other purposes.The stamps were printed on two colors of paper: Pink (two shades) and Yellow. The stamps on Yellow paper include 5 of the "Small" provisional (4 on separate covers and one off cover) and the only recorded "Large" Beaumont, used on cover (offered here) The stamps on Pink paper are all the "Small" design and include 3 off cover and 13 on separate covers. Most of the recorded covers are faulty, and only four have postmarks of any kind tying the stamps.This cover was addressed by Capt. William Berry Duncan to his wife, Celima, in Liberty, Texas. The handwriting matches writing on another cover to her that was endorsed by him as a soldier (see Sale 860, lot 602). Captain Duncan joined Spaight's 11th Battalion of Texas Volunteers on March 1, 1862, and served three years in the war. He returned to Liberty, Texas, in June 1865.The Large Beaumont cover was discovered by a collector, Fred Green, among the Duncan family's correspondence in the possession of Capt. Duncan's granddaughter, Julia Duncan Welder. Green purchased the envelopes, and Mrs. Welder donated the letters to the Sam Houston Regional Library, where they reside today.Following Green's discovery, the cover was acquired by George Walcott, a prominent collector of Confederate States and Civil War patriotic covers. Walcott displayed the cover at a meeting of The Collectors Club of New York and included a photograph of it in a meeting report he published in the Collectors Club Philatelist (July 1923). He noted, "Nothing received quite as much attention as a yellow Beaumont of a new type, a recent discovery and unique, and moreover in wonderful condition." The photograph shows that the envelope was roughly opened at the left and the stamp had gum staining (probably from mucilage). When the cover appeared in the 1956 Caspary sale, the left edge had been trimmed and the stamp was cleaned and reaffixed further down from the edge of the cover.According to an account of Walcott's collecting activity, written by the British dealer Charles J. Phillips and published in the 1937 Laurence catalog of Walcott's patriotic covers, Phillips handled the dispersal of the Confederate States collection in 1929. A pencil notation in Alfred H. Caspary's hand on the back of the cover reads "Cost $3500 1929." When Caspary's Confederate States postmasters' provisionals were sold by H. R. Harmer in 1956, the Large Beaumont cover sold to Raymond and Roger Weill as agents for Camille Sams Lightner, an heiress to the fortune amassed by her father from his instrumental role in building J. C. Penney. Lightner's collection was later purchased by the Weills, and the large Beaumont was sold privately to Josiah K. Lilly, Jr., scion of the pharmaceutical family.In the Siegel firm's April 27, 1967, auction of Lilly's Confederate postmasters' provisonals, the Large Beaumont brought $9,000, once again selling to the Weills. The next collector to own this unique stamp was the Reverend Paul B. Freeland, a Presbyterian minister, historian, philanthropist and genealogist from south Louisiana. Reverend Freeland's important Confederate collection, including the Large Beaumont, was acquired by the Weills (privately, of course).The cover was in the Weill Brothers stock when it was dispersed in 1989, and sold to José Luis Castillejo for his collection of Texas postal history. At the Siegel firm's 1994 sale of the Castillejo collection ("Camina"), the Large Beaumont sold to John R. Hill, Jr., a Dallas collector. When his collection was sold privately, in part by Andrew Levitt, the Large Beaumont was placed with Erivan Haub, whose massive collection was sold in a series of auctions by the Corinphila/Koehler/Harmer firm. It became part of the Magnolia collection in Sale 2 held in December 2019.CWPS census no. BEA-TX-A03-005.

ONLY ONE PAIR AND TWO SINGLES ARE RECORDED OF THE 5-CENT GOLIAD TYPE II ON GRAY PAPER.In the Type II setting, "J. A. Clarke" and "Post Master" were added to the design. The earliest recorded date of use for any Type II provisional is October 21, 1863. When the second setting was assembled, the letters "I" and "O" were transposed in one position, creating the "GOILAD" error in both the 5c and 10c denominations.The Type II provisionals were printed on two kinds of paper: Gray (5c 29X6, 10c 29X7) and Surface-Coated Dark Blue (5c 29X8, 10c 29X9). The printing on Dark Blue paper is represented by only one 5c stamp (on cover) and three off-cover 10c stamps—none with the "GOILAD" error. Two have February postmarks, which we believe are 1865 dates.The July 1862 rate change to a 10c rate for any distance eliminated the need for a 5c stamp. While it seems likely that the Type II setting and printing occurred after July 1862, it is difficult to understand why Postmaster Clarke would bother to print 5c stamps when there was no 5c rate at this point.The 5c Type II on Gray Paper is not known on cover.

Only three of the four available covers have stamps tied by the town datestamp or “PAID” straightline. In addition to the normal 10c Type II, there are two other covers with the Type II “GOILAD” spelling error (and one off-cover stamp)—one is incorrectly listed in CWPS as normal 29X7.

It is the last Goliad provisional to come to light.The stamp on this cover is certified as the normal 29X7 on Gray paper, in accordance with the Scott listing. However, this stamp and the Gray 29X7 stamp are on two different colored papers. This stamp's paper is more accurately described as Buff. It is known that the Goliad Messenger newspaper office used whatever paper they could find, including salvaged paper from other print runs. Therefore, it is quite conceivable that papers of different colors were used for the Goliad printings.CWPS census no. GOL-TX-A08-[Cover]-003.

ONE OF TWO GENUINE COVERS WITH THE GONZALES 10-CENT POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL LABEL IN GOLD ON GARNET PAPER—OF THE TWO, THIS IS THE ONLY TIED STAMP AND ITS CONDITION IS SUPERIOR TO THE OTHER KNOWN COVER. AN OUTSTANDING RARITY OF CIVIL WAR PHILATELY.John V. Law, the postmaster who issued the Gonzales provisional stamps, migrated from England to Texas sometime prior to 1842, when he participated in the Battle of Salado (https://www.sonsofdewittcolony.org/saladobennet.htm). In 1858 he began advertising a "new" drugstore in Gonzales with a partner named Coleman—spelled with an "e" in contemporary ads, but spelled "Colman" on the labels. The business was located "adjoining the post office" and expanded to include selling books.Law was the Gonzales postmaster from 1853 through October 1865 (Deaton, p. 83). According to postal records, he received his Confederate postmaster appointment on July 17, 1861. Law's legacy to stamp collectors is his use of colorful adhesive labels, which read "Colman & Law, Booksellers & Druggists, Gonzales, Texas," as a means of indicating prepaid postage on letters. The Gonzales provisional stamps were originally produced for use on books and medicines, and none have a denomination explicitly stated. Examples genuinely used on postmarked covers are extremely rare.The Gold on Dark Blue (30X1) is recorded on three covers, each with a pair, all from the same correspondence to James F. Miller, a soldier with the 8th Texas Cavalry at Corinth, Mississippi. The discovery of these three covers was first reported in Mekeel's, February 3, 1898. The use of pairs in 1861 indicates the Dark Blue stamp had a nominal value of 5c. Each pair on the three Miller covers has a Gonzales double-circle datestamp applied before use, evidently as a control mark, and an additional of the datestamp applied as a postmark. Presumably, this measure enabled Law to distinguish provisional postage from valueless book labels.The Gold on Garnet (30X2) is recorded on two genuine covers dated in 1864, which means the stamps had a nominal value of 10c. A third cover with the Gold on Garnet stamp has a CWPS certificate stating that the tying portion of the cancel is in pencil and, therefore, it did not originate on the cover. In addition to the two stamps on covers, there is an off-cover single, ex Ferrary and Kirkman, which has an old P.F. certificate, but would probably not be certified as genuine today.The Gold on Black (30X3) is recorded on three covers—one dated in 1861, another in 1865, and a third without a yeardate (offered in this sale as lot 2176). On two of the covers, including the one offered in lot 2176, there is a manuscript 5c rate marking—these are noted in the "Uncertain Uses" section of the CWPS census.A detailed list of the CWPS census follows. In the census "Uncertain Uses" section, Crown raises questions about the genuineness of three covers, indicated below with brackets around the census number.

M. Harwood, care of Breeden & Fox, Richmond Va., ex Haub ("Erivan"), the cover offered hereAlthough Crown has given this cover "uncertain" status in the CWPS census, his opinion is based on his interpretation of the rate marking. The distance from Gonzales to Richmond is more than 1,000 miles, so at any time during the 1861-65 period, the rate would have been 10c, prepaid or collect. Crown interprets the adhesive plus "5" manuscript rate as only 5c prepaid, because the word "Paid" is not written. An alternate explanation is that the stamp was valued at 5c and the manuscript "5" was an addition for a total of 10c. Perhaps the additional 5c was charged to a post office box account or paid in cash. Without the adhesive, the "5" cents marking still represents an insufficient amount of postage.CWPS census no.

THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE INDEPENDENCE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL WITH THE LARGE "10" RATE, SCOTT 41X1. ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITIES OF AMERICAN PHILATELY—THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A STAMP OF WHICH JUST ONE EXAMPLE IS KNOWN.Postal records show three different Confederate postmasters of Independence, Texas: William J. Hale (appointed Jul. 12, 1861, resigned); George R. Seward (appointed Dec. 28, 1861); and John McKnight (appointed Jan. 19, 1863). Four of the five recorded Independence provisional covers have not been reliably assigned yeardates, but the cover offered here (CWPS census no. IND-TX-A01-001) is postmarked July 31 and has a clearly written July 29, 1862, yeardate, which would position it during Seward's tenure. Two of the four covers with 41X3 have postmark dates of November 24 (offered in this sale as lot 2186) and April 29 (pencil docketing "1862").This was the first Independence provisional to be discovered. It was found in January 1898 by E. D. Dorchester, a Texas collector who was married to the granddaughter of T. W. House, founder of a large banking and commercial firm in Houston. Dorchester was given access to the T. W. House firm's correspondence and found this Independence provisional cover and a Gonzales provisional cover (CWPS census no. GON-TX-A03-006), as well as other Confederate covers. There is a typewritten statement on this folded letter from T. W. House and William Christian, attesting to its discovery and gifting to Dorchester in January 1898 (notarized June 16, 1899).The CWPS census records one example of the Large "10" (41X1), offered here, and four examples of the Small "10" with manuscript "Pd" (41X3):Large "10" (Scott 41X1):IND-TX-A01-001: Cut to shape, Jul. 31 (1862) circular datestamp, on cover to T.

Hellenkamp Esqr., Lagrange"—the recipient was Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Helmcamp, a German immigrant—very minor faint toning not mentioned on certificateEXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED VICTORIA 10-CENT POSTMASTER’S PROVISIONAL COVERS—THESE ARE THE ONLY RECORDED COVERS WITH ANY OF THE VICTORIA PROVISIONALS.According to Deaton (p. 56) and other sources, James A. Moody migrated from Nova Scotia to Texas in 1835 and settled in Victoria, where he served as mayor, district clerk, and justice of the peace. Victoria's first post office was established in 1838 and Moody was appointed the first postmaster, serving continuously during the Republic period. After Texas became a state, he was appointed U.S. postmaster on May 22, 1846, and served through the Civil War, receiving his appointment as a C.S.A. postmaster on July 12, 1861. Moody was the Confederate postmaster until he was replaced by R. H. Coleman (C.S.A. postmaster) on April 17, 1865, just as the war was nearing its conclusion. After the war, James J. Hall was appointed U.S. postmaster on Oct. 18, 1865, and he was replaced by Rev. John H. Thurmond on Jan. 5, 1866.Moody issued 5c and 10c provisional stamps bearing his name. Deaton reports that the stamps were printed at the newspaper offices of the Victoria Advocate, published by S. A. White. All of the stamps were printed from a typeset form on green paper. The 5c and 10c settings with large thin numerals are quite similar in composition. The second 10c setting has a small italic numeral "10".The CWPS census records the following 5c and 10c Type I (Large Thin Numerals) stamps:5c Red Brown on Green, Type I, Large Thin Numerals (88X1)—5 total (all unused):VIC-TX-A01-001: Original gum, sound, top right corner margins, ex Ferrary, Hind, Hall, "D.K." collection and Sharrer (Sale 1035, lot 92)VIC-TX-A01-006: Part original gum, top right corner margins, vertical crease, ex Caspary, Lilly, Kilbourne and Haub ("Erivan")VIC-TX-A01-002: Small part original gum, top left corner margins, small thins and light crease, ex Hessel and Dr. Brandon (Sale 1073, lot 350)VIC-TX-A01-005: Unused (no gum), bottom right corner margins, light chipping of surface coating, natural paper bubble at right, acquired by H.

The June 23 cover offered here was the first discovery of a Victoria postmaster's provisional stamp. It was acquired by Albert Steves from Mrs. Arthur Guenther of San Antonio, the granddaughter of Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Helmcamp (1813-1898), a German immigrant from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, who settled in La Grange, Texas. Steves reported the find in the September 1893 edition of Mekeel's. Eleven years later, on August 20, 1904, the cover was purchased by Alfred H. Caspary from the New England Stamp Co., where Warren H. Colson was employed (Caspary noted the source on the back).After Caspary's death, his collection of Confederate postmasters' provisionals was sold by H. R. Harmer on March 5, 1956. The Victoria cover sold to H. Gray Muzzy, a collector from the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills. Muzzy's collection of Confederate States was sold by H. R. Harmer on Apr. 21, 1967, two years before his death. At the Muzzy auction the Victoria cover was acquired by John R. Boker, Jr. Some years later, in the early 1970s, Boker sold many of his best Confederate provisionals to Erivan Haub. It next appeared at auction in the H. R. Harmer sale of the Haub collection ("Erivan", Sale 7, Jun. 22-24, 2022), where it was acquired for the Magnolia collection.CWPS census no. VIC-TX-A02a-009.

Port Lavaca Tex., 10c Black (107X1). Large margins to full at
right, ...mehr Port Lavaca Tex., 10c Black (107X1). Large margins to full at right, uncancelled, part strike of "Port Lavaca Tex. Jan. 19" (1863) circular datestamp on small cover addressed in pencil to "Miss Puss Cliett, Prairie Lea, Texas" — when this cover was discovered by Hiram E. Deats in the 1890s, the stamp was slightly creased and had ragged margins (as shown in a photograph taken at the time); after it was sold to Caspary in 1909, the stamp was lifted, the margins were trimmed to make them even, and it was pressed and reaffixed to the cover; the accompanying certificate states "stamp with a light diagonal crease and a small toned spot at top right, the cover with a closed tear at bottom right", a small part of the backflap is missing and the cover is slightly reduced at rightVERY FINE APPEARANCE. THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE PORT LAVACA POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL STAMP AND ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE DESIGNS PRODUCED BY AN AMERICAN POSTMASTER. THIS FAMOUS COVER PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A STAMP OF WHICH ONLY ONE EXAMPLE IS KNOWN.The town of Lavaca (Spanish for "the cow") is situated on west coast of Lavaca Bay, a few miles from what was once Linnville, a town that was decimated by Comanche warriors in the Great Raid of 1840. Survivors of the attack resettled in Lavaca. When Calhoun County was established in 1846, Lavaca became the county seat and its first post office opened. In 1847 the community became a terminus for ships of the Morgan lines, and in November of that year a stagecoach route was established between Lavaca and Victoria. After Lavaca raised its docking fees in 1849, Morgan moved his shipping route to the mouth of Powderhorn Bayou, a few miles south of Indianola. Nonetheless, Lavaca continued its role as a hub for trade in the Matagorda Bay region. The name "Port Lavaca" was used on and off during the prewar and Civil War period.The cover is addressed to "Miss Puss Cliett" in Praire Lea, Texas, which is situated northeast of San Antonio, about 113 miles from Lavaca. Although no yeardate is indicated, the January 19 postmark date must be 1863. Prior to July 1862, the 5c under-500 miles rate would have applied, and federal forces occupied Lavaca in December 1863.The Confederate postmaster appointed on March 2, 1862, was Charles A. Ogsbury, a prominent citizen who migrated from New York to Texas in 1820 and fought during the Texas War of Independence. Ogsbury was the publisher of the Gulf Key, successor to the Lavaca Herald (1855-59), and would have possessed the type fonts and steamboat cut that were used to print the provisional stamps. Looking at the surviving newspapers available online, one may observe the prolific use of the same font used for "10 cents" and "Lavaca" on the stamp and a similar illustration of a sidewheel paddle steamer. (Source: Alwyn Barr, "Records of the Confederate Military Commission in San Antonio, July 2-October 10, 1862", The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Vol. 70, No. 1, July 1966).According to Deaton (pp. 68-69), the addressee was probably Josephine Cliett, one of two daughters of Thomas Cliett, a Methodist minister who settled in Prairie Lea. Josephine, affectionately addressed as "Puss" on this envelope, was 17 or 18 years old in 1863. She married Simon Hager in 1868, a veteran of the 5th Texas Cavalry Regiment. Deaton theorizes that Josephine, not her older sister Mary, was the likely recipient.The "Port Lavaca" cover, as it is known, was discovered sometime in the 1890s by Hiram E. Deats, the so-called "Philatelic Farmer of Flemington." Deats was an enthusiastic collector who advertised his interest in buying stamps. In 1935 the Confederate philatelic authority August Dietz published an article in the Stamp and Cover Collecting journal with a photograph of the Port Lavaca cover that was taken by Deats before he sold it.The next collector to own the Port Lavaca cover was Alfred H. Caspary, who wrote on the back in pencil "3/9/09 Colson DNNN", recording the fact he purchased it from Warren H. Colson on March 9, 1909 (we do not know Caspary's price code). Caspary exhibited the cover at the 1947 Centenary International Philatelic Exhibition (CIPEX) in New York City. Other than the 1935 Dietz article (with the Deats photo) and this 1947 public display, the Port Lavaca remained out of sight in Caspary's collection until it was sold by H. R. Harmer in 1956 after his death. The photo in the sale catalogue shows the cover with the cosmetic improvement to the stamp—ragged margins trimmed evenly, pressed and reaffixed away from the edge of the cover.Colson came full circle by buying the Port Lavaca cover in the 1956 Caspary auction, 47 years after he sold it to Caspary. Colson was probably acting as agent for John R. Boker, Jr., a good client and friend who handled the 81-year old veteran dealer's philatelic estate after his death in 1963. If Boker acquired the Port Lavaca cover in 1956, he must have held it until the early 1970s when he sold many of his Confederate postmaster provisional rarities privately to Erivan Haub. Its next appearance at auction was in Sale 3 of the Haub collection ("Erivan") on August 7, 2020. It was acquired for the Magnolia collection in that sale.There are eleven unique Confederate postmasters' provisional adhesive stamps (not including printed envelopes): the "Large" Beaumont Tex., Bridgeville Ala. (pair), Hallettsville Tex., Hillsboro N.C., Jetersville Va. (pair), Knoxville Tenn. 10c, Mt. Lebanon La., New Smyrna Fla., Port Lavaca Tex., Rutherfordton N.C., and Salem Miss. These are some of the world's rarest stamps, and among them the Port Lavaca is the only one with an illustrated design element.Unlisted in CWPS census. Illustrated in Deaton, The Great Texas Stamp Collection (plate 4). "W.H.C." (Warren H. Colson) handstamp at bottom left. Caspary pencil note on back "3/9/09 Colson DNNN" (purchased it from Colson on March 9, 1909). Ex Deats, Caspary (purchased by Colson in 1956 sale, probably as agent for Boker), Boker and Haub ("Erivan"). With 2020 P.F. certificate. Scott value $27,000
