VERY FINE CONFEDERATE STATE USE OF U.S. POSTAGE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THIS 8-STAR FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGN.

The 8-Star flags began with the admission of Virginia to the Confederacy and ended with the admission of Arkansas -- a period of only one month. This design is the only example recorded.

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS VERSION OF THE BASIC CONFEDERATE 7-STAR FLAG DESIGN WITH "C.S.A." IS CONSIDERABLY RARER THAN OTHER VARIETIES. A WONDERFUL CONFEDERATE STATE USE OF U.S. POSTAGE.

The few examples of this rare "C.S.A." flag design we were able to locate were used from Virginia post offices. The last two we offered, from the Dr. Brandon and Kilbourne collections, respectively, were from Goodson Va. (and were both post-June 1, 1861 Confederate mail system uses). Virginia was admitted to the Confederacy on May 7 and conducted the popular referendum on May 23, the day after this cover was postmarked (Image)

VERY FINE. A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF TWO DIFFERENT 7-STAR CONFEDERATE PATRIOTIC DESIGNS, INCLUDING THE RARE "SOUTHERN RIGHTS" BANNER DESIGN ON LETTERSHEET.

Although the concept of States' Rights is referred to in verses on Patriotic covers, this is the only flag design which incorporates the words "Southern Rights." It was published by T. S. Whitaker of Wilmington N.C., who also published Confederate songs, including "The Stonewall Quickstep" by John H. Hewitt.

Ex Antrim. Accompanied by another letter dated in 1863 -- we are not sure if there is any connection, but it was present when the Kilbournes bought the cover from Earl Antrim. The C.S.A. Catalog does not list the F7-9 design on a lettersheet (Image)

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL SMALL 9-STAR PATRIOTIC COVER COMBINING SEVERAL DESIRABLE ELEMENTS.

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 very rare. This cover combines several rare or interesting elements, including the 9-Star design, a scarce manuscript town postmark, the missent and forwarded notation and the Confederate State use of U.S. postage (Image)
