| Comments |
Keatinge & Ball established themselves in Columbia, South Carolina after the Union blockade effectively cut the Confederacy off from its preferred Northern and European printers. Their output for the Richmond government was substantial but technically inferior to the work of firms like the American Bank Note Company — the engraving is competent, not fine, and the paper stock varied considerably across print runs depending on what could be sourced domestically.
CS#24 falls within the first major wave of Confederate emission, when the Richmond Treasury was still attempting to project fiscal credibility. That effort collapsed quickly. By late 1861, overprinting had begun in earnest, and notes of this type depreciated steadily regardless of their physical condition.
