The Kilbourne Collection of CSA Stamps and Postal History continued...

10c Blue “TEN” Engraved continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
772 c Image10c Blue, "TEN" (9). Huge margins to just touched at right, tied by "Pollard Ala. Oct. 17, 1863" circular datestamp on reddish brown cover to Raleigh N.C. with blue 13-Star Second Confederate Flag Patriotic Design, "Our New Flag" Slogan and "No reconstruction with the vile North..." Verse (F13-5A variety, Verse 27), address and docketing crossed out, some very slight wrinkling and edgewear

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 10-CENT "TEN" ON THE SECOND CONFEDERATE NATIONAL FLAG DESIGN WITH THE "OUR NEW FLAG" SLOGAN.

This design matches that illustrated as F13-5A in the C.S.A. Catalog. However the catalog lists only black and this design is in blue. Any use of the 10c "Ten" on a Patriotic cover is scarce, and this use on the extremely rare Second National Flag Patriotic design is in all likelihood unique. It was acquired by the Kilbournes in 1956 and this is its first auction appearance since then (Image)

773 c Image10c Blue, "TEN" (9). Full margins, lightly creased and slight edge toning, tied by "Richmond Va. Jun. 30" (1863) circular datestamp on yellow cover to Hanover C.H. Va. with Mounted Dragoon and Verse Patriotic design (SM-1, Verse 13), few toning specks

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE "TEN" USE ON A PATRIOTIC COVER.

The 10c "Ten" Issue is very rare on Patriotic covers. The few examples in Power Search are on the common 11-Star Flag design (F11-16). This use on the Mounted Dragoon design is much more desirable.

775 c Image10c Blue, "TEN" (9). Horizontal strip of seven, large margins all around, tied by five strikes of "Darlington C.H. S.C. Jun. 2" (ca. 1863) circular datestamp on large blue courthouse cover to Marianna Fla., court docketing at left also ties end stamp in strip, light bend thru center stamp, couple tiny scrapes in margins, cover has typical edgewear and faint stains, but this artifact is in its original condition as discovered

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS THE LARGEST USED MULTIPLE OF THE RARE 10-CENT "TEN" ISSUE ON OR OFF COVER -- NO OTHER COMES CLOSE TO THIS STRIP'S SIZE OR QUALITY. IN OUR OPINION, THIS COVER IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING ITEMS IN CONFEDERATE PHILATELY.

A photograph of this extraordinary cover appears in the 1929 Dietz book (page 275), and its existence is noted among the listings for the 10c "TEN" issue. However, the cover was previously owned by Edward S. Knapp and was sold to John H. Hall after Knapp's Confederate collection was dispersed privately -- where it remained for more than 50 years until sold by Siegel in 2000 (Sale 823, lot 501). This is only the second offering of this cover at public auction.

The strip shows the erratic alignment of the entries on the "TEN" plate, with the center stamp significantly higher than the others in the row. The difficulty Archer & Daly experienced laying out the "TEN" plate is probably why they etched lines into the Frameline plate, which was supposed to help guide each transfer. This problem-and-solution chronology and the use of "TEN" without numerals is why we believe the "TEN" was the first die and the first plate made.
