Section 1 – Notes on the Lenoir, North Carolina, Provisionals

Left to right: adhesive provisional, adhesive die impressed on envelope, handstamped provisional James Harper was first appointed as the Lenoir postmaster in 1841. He was reappointed the Confederate postmaster on 3 July 1861 and held the position until 1862 or 1863. His son, George Washington Finley Harper, acted as assistant postmaster until he entered the joined the army in 1862. A diary entry by George Harper on 19 September 1861 states he carved the die the Lenoir provisional from holly wood on that date. This die was used to make Lenoir provisional stamps and envelopes. Postmaster Harper and his son issued both adhesive provisionals and handstamped envelopes for use as provisionals. The adhesives were prepared from the die prepared by George Harper by printing or handstamping on paper with orange ruled lines. The same die was also used to handstamp envelopes as provisionals. The adhesive provisionals exist on three types of paper as illustrated below.

Normal (cross ruled) Partial cross ruled (end Closely spaced vertical lines of ruling on right side)

Jan 2020 – v1.1 FJC

Only one example is recorded of the partial cross ruled provisional (CN-012) and one of the closely spaced vertical ruled provisionals (CN-022). Only three of the provisionals are tied on covers by the town postmark (CN-004, 010, and 018). Two others are tied by a circled “PAID” marking (CN-005 and 009). The rest bear a pen cancel that does not tie the stamp to the cover. Count of Lenoir provisionals

The cover illustrated below with the provisional tied by the Lenoir postmark received a bad certificate from the Philatelic Foundation. The opinion was “we are of the opinion that it is a genuine stamp, but it did not originate on this cover and the tying cancellation is counterfeit.”

Faked Lenoir cover postmark dated Jun 6. Philatelic Foundation certificate 355353.

Section 2 – What’s Included

Mini Census (covers only) Information on the various provisional types is presented in tabular format showing the postmark date; addressee name, town, and state; and the census number. Full Census Each different provisional type begins with a description of the type, followed by the 2012 CSA catalog number and Scott Catalogue number (in parenthesis). When there is no catalog number for the item, the basic CSA Catalog number is followed by an “x,” “y,” or “z.” Items are listed in the following order:

Adhesives – unused, used, and covers. Entires – covers (postally used followed by unused)

Each item is assigned a census number (CN). This number can be useful in identify an individual cover or stamp, particularly for covers with the same date. Each item is identified as follows:

Description: A description of the cover and its markings. This may include details from the source or sources that are not apparent in the image. Address: The full address is given as written on the cover with line breaks designated by a slash (“/”). Provenance: Provenances are given if the cover appeared in and was illustrated in a named collection sold at auction, in a book, periodical, or in an exhibit. A table of named collections and exhibits is included at Section 6 Provenances are arranged in chronological order. Source: Sources of information on the cover. Color images are indicated by an asterisk after the source.

Sources are given by an abbreviation. A table of abbreviations is included at Section 7. The abbreviation is followed by a certificate number, if an authentication service; a page number or date and page number, if a book or publication; and the date, sale number, and lot number, if an auction. Sources are listed in the following order: authentication services, books, journals, exhibits and auction catalogs. Within each group they are arranged in chronological sequence.

Color images are indicated by an asterisk after the source.

Census Number (CN): The number in brackets that follows the last listed source.
