Patriotics–Handstamped Paid and Due Markings: 11-Star Flag Designs continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1617 c ImageMurfreesboro Ten. Oct. 28, 1861. Circular datestamp with "PAID" straightline and manuscript "10" rate (over-500 miles) on cover to Richmond Va. with red and blue 11-Star Confederate Flag with Liberty Cap Patriotic design (F11-23), answer docketing of Nov. 30, 1861 at top

FRESH AND VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS 11-STAR FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGN WITH A MOST UNUSUAL ARRANGEMENT OF STARS. PROBABLY NOT MORE THAN TWO ARE KNOWN.

This 11-Star design, with seven stars at top in a half-circle, three stars at bottom and one star at center, is extremely rare. We are aware of only one other example, which is the example illustrated in the C.S.A. Catalog, with darker colors and blue bars connecting the top and bottom red stripes (it is not clear if that example is used, but we presume it is). This example is illustrated in Wishnietsky's Confederate Patriotic Covers and Their Usages on p. 79, where it is stated "one reported".

Ex Walcott and Matthies, where acquired by the Kilbournes in the 1968 sale of her Confederate Patriotics (Siegel Sale 337, lot 842). C.S.A. Catalog value $10,000.00 (Image)
