Owner's Description

Salem, OH The First NB Ch. # (M)43 Fr. 650 Lyons | Roberts SN 5227/V967961B pp A/315 PMG 30EPQ beautiful signatures by Cashier W.F. Church and Pres. F.R. Pow dated Apr 11, 1902. Much more common with Speelman | White signatures as a plain back. The back plates for Fr. 650 notes are 315 (this note) and 325 (my SN 5226 example). Notes from this bank dated Apr 10, 1922 carry the Speelman | White signatures and $20s have known back plate numbers of 722 and 1018 (see below)
Fr. 650?? SN 1922/D144844H pp A/??
Fr. 650 SN 5226/V967960B pp A/325
Fr. 650 SN 5227/V967961B pp A/315
Fr. 661 SN 1481/Y322423E pp A/722
Fr. 661 SN 5147/Z451299H pp A bp not listed in census
Fr. 661 SN 8430 pp A/1018 (After Aug. 22, 1925, the Treasury number was replaced by a second instance of the issuing bank’s serial number.)

Since all the $20 examples are from the A plate, and $10s are from an A or C plate, no doubt sheets of 3X$10s and 1-$20 were ordered (Confirmed in Kelly). The low back plate number (315) fits with the VB treasury SN block. Track & Price doesn't record Fr. # nor BP.
