Northern Bank $1

July 1, 1862. Durand 1753, Haxby RI-370 G2c, Bowers W-RI-1130-001-G010c

Serial #3236. Plate B.

“American Bank Note Co., New-York engraving and printing with several period vignette themes. With hair blown by the wind, Hope reclines at the shore with a shield showing an anchor. Sailing ships are in the background. At lower left, seated Mercury with caduceus holds aloft a money bag. Seated Ceres is at lower right holding a sickle and a sheaf of wheat.”

Signed by William G. Pierce, president, Sullivan Fenner, cashier.

While the engraved date on this note reads 1862, Fenner was cashier from 1866 to 1882, so this note was likely issued during that later time period.

Ex Coll. Eric P. Newman
