The advertisement lists the company’s ships as the Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Lord Clive, Lord Gough, and British Crown; all were built between 1872 and 1879. The American Line was a shipping company founded in 1871 and based in Philadelphia. It began as part of the Pennsylvania Railroad, although the railroad left the ship business soon after founding the company. The line ran its ships between the United States ports of Philadelphia and New York City and the British ports of Liverpool and Southampton. During its early years, the company specialized in immigration transport and touted a pre-paid service that would conveniently allow someone to purchase one ticket “to bring friends from their homes in the Old Country [primarily Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark] to any part of the United States or Canada.” This brochure was distributed by C. H. Hassenplug, a prominent Lewisburg, Pennsylvania attorney during the 1870s and 1880s. $150.00 #8532 5. [ADVERTISING] [BOOKSELLING] [CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA] [PHILATELY] Pane of 70 “Altered Plate” Confederate 10-cent Jefferson Davis stamps with an advertisement for “The Old Book Store” printed on the reverse. Atlanta: The Old Book Shop, circa 1885. Circa 1885. This pane of Confederate stamp reprints is from an altered plate of the 1862 5-cent Jefferson Davis stamp (see the note after Scott #s 6-7). Both the stamps and the advertisement are nicely centered. The sheet was previously folded and has a few small splits along some of the folds. There are several small pieces of what appear to be very thin, transparent, tissue or archival tape reinforcing two folds and the margin of the stamp side of the sheet. There has been considerable discussion about the confusion surrounding these altered plate stamps (see The American Philatelist 1888-1889 volumes 3 and 5, Dietz’s The Confederate States Post-Office Department: Its Stamps & Stationery published in 1950, Easton's The De La Rue History of British & Foreign Postage Stamps 1855 to 1901 published in 1958, Bennet’s “The Stamp That Never Was" in the November 1982 issue of The American Philatelist, and “The 10¢ Typographed Altered Plate of the Confederate States of America” by Leonard H.
