Rare Civil War Oversized (Jefferson Davis) Postal Cover
c. 1860 Civil War Era, Rare Oversized Political (Jefferson Davis) Postal Cover, Unused, Choice Extremely Fine.
This highly charged Political Anti-CSA and Secession Civil War era Postal Cover measures about 8.5" x 5.25", nearly triple the size of a standard postal envelope of the period. The unique design shows a Skull and Crossed Bones with the text, "J D his Marque" in a fancy "pirate" script. This refers to a New York Times article during the Civil War relating to how Jefferson Davis had marked all Union ships raiding Southern ships as "Pirates". This rare Cover came from a stationary packet. Lot includes a 2011 written receipt from "Peter Luke Antiques and Ephemera" selling this Cover for $650. Cover is unused but has some mild water stain, appearing to have gotten wet at some point. The printed designs are extremely sharp clear and vivid on white wove period paper. The first of this rarity we have offered.
