US 65, 3¢ rose used with manuscript postmark of Ivy Depot Va April 2 (1866?) with charge box notation at top on pale blue semi-official imprint envelope Confederate States of America, Subsistence Department, Office of Chief Commissary of Virginia with [Official.] at upper left (WD-SD-12, CV $400), to Mrs. Ella A. MacKenzie, 118 Park Street, Baltimore [Maryland], pencil docket at left “Brother Duk.” Small stained sealed tear at upper right and soiled file fold across top. Jack Molesworth note on verso that it is a “captured” imprint, with price tag of $350. My take is that it is post-war. Either way, it is a very interesting item. $200.
