Description
This is a block of twelve Confederate States of America 10-cent stamps arranged in two rows of six stamps each. The stamps are printed in a deep blue color and feature the same portrait in an oval frame with ornate scrollwork. Each stamp shows "POSTAGE" at the top and "10 CENTS" at the bottom within the decorative frame. What makes this piece particularly interesting is the imprint at the bottom which reads "KEATING & BALL, Bank Note Engravers, COLUMBIA S.C." This indicates these stamps were produced by Keating & Ball, who were Confederate stamp printers based in Columbia, South Carolina. The stamps appear to be in unused condition and are well-preserved on white paper, showing clear detail in the engraving. This is a significant piece of Confederate postal history, as intact multiples of these stamps with the printer's imprint are relatively uncommon. The quality of the engraving demonstrates the skill of Confederate currency and stamp printers during the Civil War period.

Shipping good. Packaging good. This stamp arrived on 2/24/2025. Exactly as described. Another good value stamp supplied by this seller. I am very happy to have acquired this stamp. Thank you. (I received three shipments from you all today. All stamps arrived in very good condition. It would be very helpful if the eBay order number had been written on a slip of paper in the envelope. For larger lots, it would help getting good feedback back to you.)
The stamp received was exactly as advertised and in good condition given its age and price. It arrived quickly and had been well-packaged to protect it during shipping and handling by the USPS. This was a great purchase for me and I’m very glad for the chance to obtain this for my collection. I'm completely satisfied and highly recommend this seller to everyone.
