VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST ELUSIVE OF THE 9-STAR FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGNS.

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 design (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare and are normally found with the F9-2 design. This flag (F9-1) is on a similar order of rarity to the other listed 9-Star design (F9-4).

Ex Antrim, Matthies, Weill and from our 1982 Rarities sale, where acquired by the Kilbournes. Illustrated in C.S.A. Catalog on p. 431 and in Wishnietsky's Confederate Patriotic Covers and Their Usages on p. 50, where stated "one reported". C.S.A. Catalog value $10,000.00 (Image)

VERY FINE. THIS 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG WITH "CHATHAM ARTILLERY" IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC DESIGNS.

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 design (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare, particularly with the regimental slogan.

1578 c ImageCamp Ashby Ga. Manuscript notations on matching red and blue 9-Star Confederate Flag and "Head Quarters, Chatham Artillery" Patriotic cover and lettersheet (F9-2A), lettersheet is also datelined "White Bluff Aug. 30th, 1862", carried outside the mails so no postmarks, cover with some light toning and small tears at top, lettersheet is pristine

A WONDERFUL MATCHING COVER AND LETTERSHEET WITH 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGNS.

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 design (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare, and we believe the lettersheets are even rarer than the covers.

Acquired by the Kilbournes in 1966 in Siegel Sale 304 (lot 2100) (Image)
