Athens Ga. (month?) 26 (1861). Partly clear strike of circular datestamp, grid cancels tie two 3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26) on cover to Marion Ala. with "A SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY! Free Trade With the World!" propaganda design (PS-1), missing top flap, minor soiling barely affects stamps

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE POLITICAL SLOGAN DESIGN. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST CONFEDERATE PATRIOTICS.

Throughout the war the Confederate government hoped to use international commerce to raise hard money and influence other nations to support the Southern cause. This rare slogan design promotes that effort. More effective, however, was the Federal blockade that isolated the Confederate States and disrupted regular trade routes.

Ex Dr. Brandon. With 1973 P.F. certificate
