Folding Mail Pouch From South Carolina

Made of dark brown cotton fabric and consisting of twelve compartments identified by manuscript letters. Verbal history suggests that this item carried Confederate mails during the Civil War. A very similar pouch, identified as Confederate, was on the market several years ago. This is a rare piece of Southern postal history whether war-date or not.
