62   ImageNashville Tenn., 5c Violet Brown, Tete-Beche Pair (61X5a). Vertical foot to foot pair -- Positions 4 over 6 in adjacent stereotype impressions -- with left sheet margin, other sides large to clear, manuscript cancel

VERY FINE. ONE OF FOUR RECORDED USED TETE-BECHE PAIRS OF THE NASHVILLE 5-CENT VIOLET BROWN -- THIS BEING THE ONLY SOUND PAIR.

Peter Powell’s study of the 5c Nashville (Plating the Nashville Provisional,” Confederate Philatelist, January- March 2008) concluded that stereotype groups of six units, three wide by two tall, were used to build up the printing plates. Based on plate flaws unique to specific positions, Powell also concluded that the plate size was no less than 18 subjects, made from at least three sixunit stereotype groups, and that more than one plate was made. The tete-beche arrangement in printed sheets occurred when one impression was made, then the sheet was turned 180 degrees, and a second impression was made.

This pair was in the 1933 Hind sale as a strip with a third stamp attached at bottom (see Crown book, page 252, for before and after photos).

Ex Hind, Hessel, Golden (Dukeshire”) and Cunliffe. With 2009 P.F. certificate. (Image)
