#200-CIVIL WAR SALE: RARE BAZAAR POSTAGE CINDERELLA STAMP+2 FROM GREAT CENTRAL FAIR

The small beige stamp with red lettering is quite rare, as are most "Cinderella" or fantasy stamps that were printed at/for the many fund raising bazaars throughout the North during the Civil War. The most prolific among these are the 10-, 20- and 30-cent stamps from the Great Central Sanitary Fair, two of which are part of this lot.

The two offered here are both 20-cent green stamps, with the American eagle in the center. Note that the two stamps are intended to be the same color but the printing at the time was not nearly as precise as it is today.

This lot consists of all three stamps shown for one price. Please note that other Great Central stamps listed elsewhere in the sale are much less expensive than this group. The price here is esentially for the "Bazaar" stamp with the two Great Central stamps "free" with the purchase of the Bazaar stamp.

While quite rare, this Bazaar stamp has been on ebay perhaps 3 times in the last 10-15 years and usually for $500-$800.

NOTE: This lot of 3 stamps will ship at no cost to you.
