The Kilbourne Collection of CSA Stamps and Postal History, Part 2 continued...

5¢ Green Lithograph
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1334 ngbl Image5c Green, Stone 1 (1). Block of 50 from the "Ackerman" sheet of 200, from the top of the right pane of 100 and representing the complete transfer stone of 50, huge sheet margins all around, unused (no gum), condition is very nice with just a couple of small thin spots and light creasing from having once been folded in eighths, a few small toned spots -- these are inconsequential flaws in an artifact of this kind

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE BLOCK OF 50 OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES "NUMBER ONE" FROM THE ACKERMAN SHEET, REPRESENTING THE COMPLETE GROUP OF 50 SUBJECTS FROM THE LITHOGRAPHIC TRANSFER STONE.

The 1929 edition of August Dietz's The Postal Service of The Confederate States of America (pp. 102-103) contains individual photographs of the left and right panes of the full sheet of 200 that at one time belonged to Rep. Ernest Ackerman. The Ackerman sheet was divided into two panes of 100, and the right pane was further divided into two blocks of 50 (5 vertical x 10 horizontal), each block representing the group of 50 subjects on the lithographic transfer stone that was repeated four times on the printing stone of 200.

The re-emergence of this top block of 50 in the Kilbourne collection completes the original Ackerman sheet of 200. The unique left pane of 100, ex Hall, was last offered in our Sale 1117 (lot 4512, realized $50,000 hammer). The Halls acquired the pane of 100 in the Robert Laurence May 23, 1935, sale of Confederate material from the George Walcott collection. The bottom block of 50 from the right pane, also ex Hall, was last offered in our Sale 840 (lot 143, realized $17,000). Both of these multiples now reside in the Leonard Hartmann collection.

Ex Ackerman. Acquired by the Kilbournes in 1960 (Fifield sale, Jan. 1960, lot 885). Scott Retail as blocks of four and pairs is $20,250.00 (Image)
