| Description | This is a reprint of 400 Confederate Postage Stamps, in four panes, pulled in the 1950's from the copper printing plate ordered by the Confederate States of America and manufactured by De La Rue & Company of London. The Federal vessel Mercedita captured the British ship Bermuda between Bermuda and Nassau. As part of the contraband, the printing plate was brought to Philadelphia and sold. It was never used to print stamps for the Confederacy. |
