Pre-owned CSA cover with the first stamp issued by the Confederate States of America in 1861. This vibrant green CSA#1 stamp of Jefferson Davis was the first stamp in US history to depict a living person, and it gave southerners a glimpse at their first president, Jefferson Davis. This stamp was produced by Hoyer & Ludwig, a southern-owned firm.
Sanderstown is a historical town said to have been located in Pickens County, Georgia. There is very little information about this town.
