Vignettes from International Banknote Company New York

Jumped on a chance to pick up a couple sample prints by IBNC. They are both in rough condition and have not been treated very well in the past. I believe they date from the mid 1880s to 1907. So for a 100+ years old they really are not so bad. I hope you can see how raised the letters are in United States. Magnified this vignette is really nice! I don't know anything about the engravers yet but hope to learn more about both of them! The first is numbered 44 on top and is on a cotton like tissue paper 5"*3". The second is same paper on 6"*4". You can see the copywrite date on "the challenge" is 1884 and is printed as No.103.

Hope you enjoy!

If you happen to find see either of these in a reference book please drop me a note!

They are nice, but they would really be a lot nicer with obligatory feminine vignettes.

Sorry SM - no ladies to admire.

Daggerjon, they were sold together and I really was more interested in the Eagle - until they showed up! The artwork on the USA is really sharp and I love how raised that orange ink is! The Eagle is everything I was hoping for and I am really happy to have both of them!

Thanks connor! I have not had a spare minute to myself outside of work so it has been impossible to start researching these two pieces. I look forward to getting into my two reference books when time allows!

They're both great. I wonder what the intended use for the US vignette may have been?

I am guessing Stocks but have yet to see it (which doesn't mean much )...

I have seen the Eagle on one stock and one other marketing piece so far. I have a feeling it was used quite a bit by IBNC.
