| Philadelphia, PA The Manayunk NB Ch. # 3604 PMG 12 |
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.

Note is from a BEP replacement plate, as denoted by its C* plate letter. Treasury Dept. correspondence states that the banks were charged $100 for new 4-subject plates and $25 for reentered plates. The FNB started receiving Star notes after a Jul. 27, 1888 reentry of its $5 plate. Utica's Oneida NB also received a starred plate Aug. 20, 1889 on their $5-$5-$5-$5 plate. The out-of-order M block occurred after Z and T from Sep 1898-Jun 1899. It has a new NY state seal introduced for $5s Dec. 11, 1896 starting with bp 80 (bp 92 this note). This Utica bank issued large notes only with two titles, the 2d being the FNB & TC. Signatures have mostly faded, but officers were John A. Goodale, Cashier and Publius V. Rogers, President. Mike's piece is a perfect Fine note with bright color on both sides. From The Mike Coltrane Collection.

Kelly lists just 13 survivors. One of the three institutions chartered in New York City to adopt a geographical title such as "western." All speedily failed, leaving the one obvious choice, "Eastern," unused.

A highly elusive Brown Back in any grade for this Morris County bank. This happens to be a much nicer example, showing outstanding margins on the front, albeit uneven margins on the back due to a slight mis-alignment while printing the face. Generally decent signatures may be seen aside from staining that partially obscures the cashier's neat penmanship. Signers were Chas. Applegate, Cashier and Vice President E. (Elbert) H. Baldwin. President in 1908 was C.R. Mulligan, succeeded by Thos. H. Hoagland while Baldwin served as Cashier before Applegate. Misplaced Charter number. The Cutout for the charter number was misplaced on the $10 roll that was used between 1885 and 1893 to make the upper left border. Used to make series of 1882 3x10-20 plates from Aug 1885-June 1893 based on cerification dates on proofs for new banks. It is possible that the roll was used a bit longer for extending banks or banks undergoing title changes. First used for the Ninth NB Phila. (3371); last Itasca, TX (4924). Normal, IL Ch. 4930, certified October 23, 1893 is first use of new 'normal' roll.

Ten Dollars and National Bank are reminiscent of Walcutt's Gp 16 plate note of Towanda, PA (also the Citizens NB). The A in Dollars has the diagonal crossbar and the E in Ten matches the E in Five. Letters for NB have spikes on top and bottom surfaces, but for Lewistown it is layed out in a curve, not flat, with larger letters, but the dangling balls off the T are gone.
