1861, 10c green and 1863 5c brown, on Eagle & Shield 1864 Civil War patriotic cover to Kirchhofen, Baden, Germany, each centrally-struck with black target cancel, postmarked Port Clinton, Ohio (Sep 28),  overstruck by red “N. York Hamb Pkt / 12” c.d.s. (Oct 1), reverse with oval Hamburg (Oct 17), Frankfurt (Oct 19) and Gr. Bad. Bahnpost c.d.s. (Oct 20), with contents from the Consul for Baden in Cincinnati, cover repaired at right, nevertheless a scarce transatlantic usage of a Union patriotic cover, with tremendous visual appeal.
