5c Green, Stone 1, Baton Rouge Roulette (1 var). Vertical pair, large margins to just in, tied by light red "Ponchatoula La. Oct. 1" (1862) circular datestamp on cover to Tangipaho La., some soiling at left, small cover repairs at top corners

FINE. ONE OF FIVE UNSEVERED PAIRS OF THE 5-CENT BATON ROUGE ROULETTE KNOWN ON COVER. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE GENERAL ISSUE COVER.

What makes this use even scarcer is the fact that it was not mailed out of Baton Rouge but rather nearby Ponchatoula - a scarce datestamp in its own right. Scott Retail for pair on cover
