Mr Fancy Cancel CSA 11 HUGE MARGIN COVER TIED SAVANNAH Ga Paid CDS EX-BOGGVery nice CSA 11 with huge margins and part of adjacent stamp at right on cover tied by SAVANNAH Ga CDS. Backflap missing.
Initials WGB on the back are from a dealer/expert a really nice provenance. From Trish Kaufmann's excellent web site:
WGB initials in tiny lightly penciled handwriting, a familiar sight to collectors of a certain age.
William Grice Bogg, Jr. (1928-1986...) was a respected collector and dealer during the 1950s-1980s, originally from Massachusetts. He attended William & Mary College in Williamsburg, Va., where he roomed with William A. Fox. At shows, they always had booths side by side and were life-long friends. "Boggsy, "as Fox called him, always wore a gray suit and usually had a pipe clenched between his teeth. He was the owner of New England Stamp Co., established in 1893, which he moved to Naples, Florida, in the 1980s and is still in business today. He chartered a private plane to move his stamp stock. Bill Fox had a home in Naples too. Bogg handled the estate of August Dietz, Sr., and Bill's handwriting attesting that an item is "ex Dietz"on the back of a cover is a guarantee of same. He also famously owned the printing plate of the 2c Altered Plate, which came from the Dietz estate, and which he had made into a coffee table. I set my drinks on the glass that covered that plate in Bill's Florida living room. His personal collecting interest was Florida Confederate covers. He maintained one of the top Confederate dealer stocks in the country. The CSA still presents the annual William G. Bogg Award for the best exhibit on the evolution of Confederate postal history. He joined the CSA in 1949 as member #536. When he died at age 58, his death was taken hard in the philatelic community and many attended his funeral, including my husband John Kaufmann and me. John died two years later on his 47th birthday.
