[2972]
Nice 3 cent star die stamped envelope from Holly Springs, Mississppi.
March 20, 1861 date, sent to Baltimore MD. CONFEDERATE USE, after Mississippi’s admission to the CSA and while the CSA continued to use the US postal system. Valued in the confederate catalog at $250; this example has a bit of soiling and a diagonal bend (doesn’t appear to be a full crease) that could presumably be flattened. Nice item! $100
