Item Description

USA, 1861, Thomas Jefferson 10c, blue, SC csa #2a, second oldest Confederate stamp, USED

You are looking at a very distant history of American philately.
In 1861, a blue 10-cent stamp featuring Thomas Jefferson (Scott #2) appeared, designed by Charles Ludwig of Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond, Virginia. This issue was printed by two different companies: Hoyer & Ludwig and later J.T. Paterson & Co. of Augusta, Georgia. The image of Thomas Jefferson used on both issues was a lithographic reproduction of the same image that had been engraved on the 1856 U.S. five-cent issue. The Paterson firm added secret marks to the transfer stones to distinguish its version from the Hoyer & Ludwig prints of the same design. The most typical use was on the ten-cent issue after July 1, 1862. This stamp, like the Davis five-cent, was reprinted in 1862 in a pink version (Scott #5), which is considerably rarer than the blue original. Stamps from this period are difficult to classify by color shade.
