The Position 33 stamp is the joined "CE" variety (CC 4-3-v1). The pair is tied by two strikes of the Wilmington 5 PAID CDS 5 JUL (1862). Stars and Bars Patriotic Cover (10-Stars) Type F10-11 in black with Verse 5 (Bright Banner of Freedom...) and Imprint 17 (Manufactured by W. & J. Bonitz, Goldsborough NC). Addressed to Miss L. A. Richardson, Hoovers Hill, Randolph NC. Minor reduction on the right where opened, otherwise Very Fine. Ex-Felton. PF Cert 1983 which identifies the stamps as Stone 3 but has a typo for the position places as 33-34 when the vertical pair is actually Positions 33, 43. A Stone 3 pair with a plated variety on a patriotic cover is extremely scarce.
