478 c Image3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26). Single and vertical pair with s.e. at right wrapped around left edge of cover, grid cancels (single tied), light strike of red "Charlestown Mass. Jun. ? 1861" circular datestamp at top of "Jeff. Davis, Prest./Alexr. H. Stephens, Vice Prest." 7-Star Confederate Flag Patriotic cover (F7-1B, smaller lettering) to Paymaster John V. B Bleecker, U.S. Navy Yard, Portsmouth N.H., sealed tear at top left of cover, bottom stamp in pair with small tears

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.

480 c ImageAthens Ga. (month?) 26 (1861). Partly clear strike of circular datestamp, grid cancels tie two 3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26) on cover to Marion Ala. with "A SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY! Free Trade With the World!" propaganda design (PS-1), missing top flap, minor soiling barely affects stamps

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.

Jun. 24, 1862" circular datestamp on small neat cover with red and blue 9-Star Confederate Flag Patriotic design (F9-2B), addressed to Atlanta Ga., lightly cleaned to remove soiling

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.

Aug. 6, 1863" circular datestamp on red and blue "Lincoln" surrounded by Flags and Eagle captured Union Patriotic cover to Pamplin's Depot Va., soldier's endorsement at left, top flap expertly added (the paper mesh matches exactly and if we did not know this cover's history, we would not have detected it)
