Owner's Description

Philadelphia, PA The Manayunk NB Ch. # 3604 PMG 12 $5 1882 BB Fr. 469 SN 22/E140471 pp A/5 dtd. Dec. 17, 1886. A Circus Poster note, CP-1 is found on plates for only 46 banks. This example might have been received by someone unfamiliar with the design or perhaps deposited at a bank with a suspicious teller, as someone has penned in ink the date of "Aug 22, 1949" on both sides. Beautiful penned signatures of Jno. J. Foulkrod, Cashier and David Wallace, President. This is one of only five $5 Brown Backs documented from this institution and the 1st of 4 titles. Manayunk is centrally located just 15 minutes from Center City Philadelphia, King of Prussia, Chestnut Hill, and The Main Line. Nestled along the banks of the Schuylkill River and the Manayunk Canal and Tow Path, the commercial district is lined with renovated Victorian storefronts and mill buildings giving you an urban experience with small town charm. The area's name is derived from the language of the Lenape Indians (later called the Delaware Indians by Europeans). In 1686-dated papers between William Penn and the Lenape, the Lenape referred to the Schuylkill River as "Manaiung", their word for "river", which literally translates as "place to drink"; the word was later altered and adopted as the town's name.
