The Deane R. Briggs, M.D. Collection of Florida in the Civil War continued...

Patriotic Covers
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2150 c Image5c Green, Stone 1-2 (1). Full margins to touched at top, tied by "Warrington Fla. Feb. 8" (1862) circular datestamp on red and blue on yellow Jefferson Davis Medallion and 11-Star Confederate Flag Patriotic cover (JD-2) to Talladega Ala., barely reduced at right where opened, stamp has small stain spot and trivial flaws

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE JEFFERSON DAVIS MEDALLION PATRIOTIC DESIGN WITHOUT THE ALLEGORICAL BACKGROUND SCENE. PARTICULARLY DESIRABLE USED FROM FLORIDA.

This design is one of the rarest of the Jefferson Davis Medallion Patriotics. It has 11 stars, with four of them contained in the sunburst above "Confederate States of America." It omits the bridge, cannon, train, steamboat and cotton bale allegorical scene below the medallion, which is found on most of the other Davis designs. This is one of only two recorded Florida uses of this design.

2151 c ImageMonticello Flor. Nov. 4 (1861). Clear strike of circular datestamp with "Paid 10" in arc handstamp on red and blue 9-Star Confederate Flag Patriotic cover (F9-2B), addressed to Savannah Ga. and turned with 10c Blue, Die A (11) inside, tied by Savannah circular datestamp and addressed to Abbeville S.C., just a bit of the gum from flap showing thru on front

VERY FINE. THIS 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC DESIGNS. TO FIND IT USED FROM FLORIDA AND TURNED WITH A GENERAL ISSUE STAMP IS EXTRAORDINARY.

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). Surviving examples are extremely rare. This example used from Florida is one of only two 9-Star Flag uses recorded in the Briggs census -- the other is offered in the following lot.
