Boston, MA The First NB Ch. # (N)200 PMG 15 $5 1902 RS Fr. 587 SN 28436/K294924 pp A/106 Feb. 25, 1903. The signatures are bold in black, but mostly illegible--the cashier is Frederic H. Curtis and the President is D.G. Wing. The red has faded slightly, there's some wallet soiling from a time when the note was folded into a ~2"X2" square, and the center fold are the main detractors. The Treasury serial number is what I call a RADARD. Yes a radard. The first five digits make up a radar and the middle digit in the 'd' position repeats at the end, so a radard. It's a side-ways radar... a radard that makes you want to find the raddar (i.e. SN 249942 or the 294492 notes).

Park Falls, WI First NB, Ch. # (M)10489 PMG 20 $5 1902 DB Fr. 597 SN 236/Y189903A pp D/354 dtd. Jan. 26, 1914. The total number of sheets issued by this bank was just under 5,000 with only 410 sheets of $5 DBs, and with a large size outstanding of $1,020, indicating limited possibilities for new discoveries from here. This evenly circulated and well centered example has purple stamped signatures. This YA note would have been produced in 1914 shortly after the bank rec'd its charter. F.J. Kandutsch served as Cashier from the start (1914-18). J.B. Saunders signed as cashier yet didn't appear as Cashier in Comptroller of the Currency reports until 1919. The faded president's signature is that of G. Waldo also consistent with a note signed a few years after production. A fault-free, evenly-circulated example previously from the Chet Krause Collection.

Portland, ME The National Traders Bank Ch. # (N)1451 SN $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 PMG 25 repeater binary SN 1010/U575048 pp B/107 dated June 28, 1905. A very scarce Portland bank which issued First Charters, Brown Backs, and Red Seals only before closing in 1908. Barely a dozen notes of all types are known with with this note only the third Red Seal of any denomination to be reported. A bold red overprint and delicate pen signatures of J. (John) M. Gould, Cashier and F.O. Conant, Vice President (1903-1908)(President would have been Leander W. Fobes) are the traits of this pleasing PMG Very Fine 25 example that just has a couple of minor edge tears. From the Nate Smith Collection of Maine National Bank Notes.
