VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE NASHVILLE 5-CENT BRICK RED TETE-BECHE PAIR.
Peter W. W. Powell's study of the 5c Nashville ("Plating the Nashville Provisional," Confederate Philatelist, January-March 2008) reached the conclusion that the stereotypes were made in groups of six units, three wide by two tall. Working with photographs of the ex-Caspary tete-beche blocks of twelve (lots 313 and 314) and the strip of five on cover (Siegel Sale 874, lot 116), Powell determined that the printing plates had to have been built up from 3-by-2 stereotype groups. 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 six-unit 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 is the only recorded example of the Nashville Brick Red in tete-beche format and is unlisted in Scott. Ex Gallagher and Rudy (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THE GRAY SHADE IS FAR RARER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER 5-CENT NASHVILLE PROVISIONAL SHADES.
Only seven on-cover examples of the 5c Gray are recorded in Crown. Ex Everett, Judd and Boshwit (Image)
