. This incredible and
unique "discovery" note is the first to appear on the market
from this Los Angeles-area bank. While the bank seems to
have issued plenty of notes, a total of $264,650 in face
value from 1907 until its close in 1922, collectors have
never yet had an opportunity to obtain one. It is a bright,
crisp example with several folds that define the grade, and
it's fully original with fantastic pen signatures. Estimating
this rarity is difficult, since only one bidder can be success-
ful and there are likely to be many collectors who will com-
pete for this prize, but if recent history is any guide we
could see our estimate far surpassed before the hammer
falls.
Estimated Value .................................... $40,000 - 50,000

. This is an exciting note from a tiny Fergus County
community in central Montana that has a current popula-
tion of less than 200 residents. It is the only note reported
from this bank, which opened in 1907 and was liquidated in
1923. The note itself is a pleasing circulated example with
no major flaws, and bold "vanity" signatures add to the eye
appeal. "Trophy notes" like this are seldom available at any
price, and only one strong-willed collector can take this
note home. A picture post card featuring the town main
street, including the bank of issue, is included with this lot.
Estimated Value .................................... $15,000 - 20,000
