That second one is almost traiterous . . . looks like the Union Jack, though I suppose it is hard to say what was going through the postmaster's mind.
I agree Smauggie.. Does look like the Union Jack...... Roy, a 25 lb box of 19th century covers sounds fun!! .... and expensive. ;o) Would love to research a box like that. I would love to get into covers. I think it would be a fun way to collect some later issues. I have the perception, I don't know if its correct or not, but I have the perception that it would be possible to put together a set of Great Americans covers or maybe transportation coils. I think that would start the makings of a cool exhibit (something else I'd like to try my hand at)

Thought they were rather nice and worth sharing:
