Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
18		3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26). Tied by boldly-struck Waving Flag fancy cancel, "Penn Haven Pa.

A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE WAVING FLAG FANCY CANCEL ON A WAVING FLAG PATRIOTIC COVER. BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY SUCH COMBINATION OF CANCEL AND STATIONERY WITH PRO-UNION FLAG MOTIFS. Undoubtedly the postmaster took great pride in applying his hand-carved Flag fancy cancel on this red, white and blue Flag patriotic envelope, which mirrors his design. We first encountered this cover 25 years ago and have never seen another like it.
