Mixed Obsoletes

Bank of North America. ND. No Denomination. Proof.

Printed on India paper, mounted to thick paper sheet. Without imprint, but by Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. Ornate, finely machined black printed lathe back. Oval cartouche center with seated female and globe. Drapery with title across top. Haxby PA-465 type of G158a. Rarity-7. An interesting back design that used red ink for the issued notes. The lathe style is similar to Congreve in many ways. This was the only example in the ABN Archive Sale and in the one lot from this series sold back in 1990. It appears that the back design might have been common to all the denominations in the series. There is a small portion of the bottom right cut off. Provenance: From a Private Collection; Archives of the American Banknote Company (Christie's, September 14-15, 1990, part of Lot 1673). We sold this for $345 as part of our 52 Collection.

Estimate: $ 200 - 300
