Troy, NY The N State B Ch. # 991 PMG 06 $1 1875 Fr. 383 SN 2460/A154464 pp A July 1st, 1865. A bit rough around the edges but this well circulated note is one of just two series of 1875 aces reported from this large-only Troy bank. Despite its amount of wear, it still has more than acceptable color and legible pen signatures. The wide swath of blue stained paper is still clear and distinct on the face. Willard Gay, Cashier (1865-1886 and Pres. 1887-1891) and Alfred Wotkyns, President (1865-1867). This $1 note made its last public appearance in a 2010 Stacks sale and the holder carries Q David Bowers Collection pedigree. Ex The Collar City Collection of NY Nationals.

York, PA The Western NB Ch. # (E)2303 $10 1882 DB Fr. 542 PMG 30 SN 393/B516843 pp C/25 July 23, 1895 Radar. Nice signatures of E.A Rice, Cashier and John Fahs, President. The Western NB didn't order 3x10-20 sheets until after 1908, so this $10DB has a C plate letter; $5s and 50-100s for BBs! This plate received a distinctive baroque font for spelling National Bank first used around the beginning of 1894. This font features pointed flairs in the letters--it's known as a Group 11 on series of 1882 $5 BBs. The note has a hidden star from BEP Die 2988 which began use April 16, 1900.

Cortland, NY The NB Ch. # (E)2272 PMG 35 $10 1902 DB Fr. 623a Teehee | Burke SN 61/N568015B pp C/265 dtd. May 13, 1915. Rare Fr. # and ex Bill Sabis Collection of NY Nationals. F.J. Peck, Cashier and S.S. Knox President. Peck started as cashier in 1889 and moved to President in 1918 where he remained until at least the end of the NBN era (1935).
Known as the Crown City, Cortland is the county seat of Cortland County. Cortland's leading industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the Wickwire Brothers wire-drawing mill, noted for its production of wire hardware cloth for use as window screens. Cortland was also the location of Brockway Motor Company, a pioneering truck maker. Begun in 1875 as Brockway Carriage Works, it was taken over by Mack Trucks in 1956, and survived until 1977. The city continues to host an annual show of Brockway trucks. In 1868 Cortland became the home of the Cortland Normal School, which gradually developed into a four-year college. With graduate programs and research capacity, it has expanded into the State University of New York at Cortland.
