This is my latest acquisition of a cover intended for Clarksville, VA that was missent to Charlottsville, VA with a nice blue CDS and "Missent" marking. This is my earliest example of this marking, though not hardly the earliest usage.
Edit: I know that there exist very early manuscript "Missent" markings but I am referring to pre-made markings from a stamp (made of rubber, steel, etc).

My guess would be sometime in the early 1850s. There is one currently listed for sale on eBay from 1854, and there is a completed auction that did not sell from 1851.
It is a very nice cover! I live in Charlottesville, and would be interested in trading for it if you ever plan to part with it.

lovely cover, Antonio
I'll need to look in my Missent file to see what I see. Doubtful I can beat it though
I spent time in Charlottesville, years ago, pursuing my masters in 18th Century English prose, concentrating on Sterne.
Anyone surprised?

I am wondering when is the earliest occurrence of the "Missent" auxiliary marking on mail.
