Confederacy, Galveston Tex, May 24, 1861, cds (1860 slug) and matching grid cancel on U.S. 3¢ red (U26) Star Die entire from the Carroll & Hoy correspondence to New Orleans La.; usual filing holes, flap tear and tiny edge tear, Very Fine.
Scott No. US #U26    Estimate $300 - 400.

Although the year slug in the cds appears to be 1860, the 3¢ star die entires were not issued until after the summer of 1860. The earliest known use of a star die entire is August 18th 1860 from Burlington N.J. The Galveston post office used the wrong year slug for several days in late May and early June 1861.
