According to the Springer catalog, McElroy's Philadelphia directory of 1865 lists J.H. Johnson as a stationer at 7 N. 10th Street, Johnson issued these labels in connection with his "Free P.O. Box", and the design was apparently issued to honor the martyred president; their status is uncertain though some specialists believe them to be advertising labels applied to letters taken from his mail-drop box, also included are two additional blue and black seven-line in shield labels .
