VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE USE OF UNITED STATES STAMPS ON A JEFFERSON DAVIS-ALEXANDER STEPHENS CONFEDERATE FLAG PATRIOTIC COVER, MAILED IN THE NORTH SHORTLY AFTER THE SEVERING OF POSTAL RELATIONS.
The 7-Star flag was the official Confederate national flag from March 4, 1861, until the admission of Virginia on May 7, 1861. The white lettering on this cover is slightly thinner and smaller than that on the cover offered in lot 479. The penmanship closely matches that on a Confederate cover to Commander Catesby ap R. Jones, of Monitor and Merrimack fame (Siegel Sale 840, lot 401). This was likely sent by the same person.
Ex Bleuler. With 2002 C.S.A. certificate. C.S.A. catalog value for this Patriotic without regard to the U.S. stamps $4,000.00 (Image)

The 7-Star flag was the official Confederate national flag from March 4, 1861, until the admission of Virginia on May 7, 1861. The white lettering on this cover is slightly thicker and larger than that on the cover offered in lot 478.
Ex "Tara". C.S.A. catalog value for this Patriotic without regard to the U.S. stamp $3,500.00 (Image)
VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE POLITICAL SLOGAN DESIGN. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST CONFEDERATE PATRIOTICS.
Throughout the war the Confederate government hoped to use international commerce to raise hard money and influence other nations to support the Southern cause. This rare slogan design promotes that effort. More effective, however, was the Federal blockade that isolated the Confederate States and disrupted regular trade routes.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGN.
The ninth star represents the admission of Arkansas, which was followed only three days later by North Carolina. Due to the short time period there were fewer 9-Star Confederate Patriotic designs produced than any other flag designs (7 thru 13 stars). They are extremely rare.
