Description
Unique Ex-Grinnell Large Size Sheet from the Philadelphia National Bank
Uncut Sheet of (4) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. $10-$20 1902 Date Back. Fr. 616/642. Philadelphia NB. Charter #539. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ.
A most impressive item from a prominent Philadelphia bank that received its national charter in 1864. Beginning life as the Philadelphia Bank; this institution would become one of the largest in Pennsylvania issuing more than $31 million in National Currency by 1935. Notes from here are nonetheless easily available as one would expect with close to 1,000 examples recorded by the National Bank Note Census. However, this piece is the only large size sheet recorded and traces its pedigree back to the collection of one Albert A. Grinnell and Bluestone's legendary sale of the Grinnell Collection in the 1940s. Listed on page 193 where it was offered for $250; the signatures of Cashier O. Howard Wolfe and President Joseph Wayne Jr. were allegedly applied at Grinnell's personal request. Listed in the National Bank Note Census without so much as a serial number; this will be the first time that this piece will be offered publicly in almost 80 years.
From the "This Buck Stopped Here" Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
