VERY FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS "SOUTHERN RIGHTS" PATRIOTIC FLAG DESIGN AND UNUSUAL USED FROM A POST OFFICE OTHER THAN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE IT WAS PUBLISHED.
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.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG 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 designs (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare.

FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS LARGE FORMAT 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG. ONE OF THE MOST ELUSIVE OF THE FEW RECORDED 9-STAR 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 designs (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare and are normally found with the F9-2 design. This design, with the large style flag, tassels and "Lawrence Rifles" unit designation (F9-3) is on a similar order of rarity to the other listed 9-Star design (F9-1). (Image)

Jones was promoted to Major before being killed during the Atlanta Campaign at the Battle of Resaca, in May 1864. This cover is illustrated in color in the 1986 Dietz catalog (p. 146) (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS LEFT-WAVING 11-STAR FLAG DESIGN.
Both of the rate markings on this cover are known from Tudor Hall. This may have been prepaid 5c by the sender, but when the postmaster realized the distance was more than 500 miles, he struck the "Due 10" handstamp and it became a soldier's due cover.
