Jun. 11" (1862) circular datestamp on oatmeal cover to Shelby Springs Ala. with red and blue 13-Star Confederate Battle Flag Patriotic design (F13-3), C. H. Nobles & Co. Pensacola imprintEXTREMELY FINE. A VERY RARE COMBINATION OF THIS 13-STAR CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG DESIGN, FLORIDA ORIGIN AND THE 5-CENT RATE PAID BY A SINGLE 5-CENT LONDON TYPOGRAPH.
This is a "triple threat" cover with this rare 13-Star Battle Flag design, a Florida postmark and a single of the 5c Typograph -- which is far more often encountered as a pair paying the post-June 30, 1862, universal 10c rate.
