Received my copy while I was in Denver and have not even had a chance to look at it yet. Did verify that all of the pages with the vignettes are there and undamaged. Book looks clean and I look forward to reading it!

 

Also used on a few other stock/bonds/banknotes .

FYI ~ Just saw this out on ebay. This book at this price is a steal IMO.

 

Dang I was hoping it would sneak by without anyone seeing it.

 

:devil: Nice Butt !!!!

I found one on Amazon for $29.33 + S&H (used, in excellent condition)

 

That is a heck of a deal for what is in it!

 

The ABNC roots go back to 185e or so. Check the book out for reference to the Farmers & Millers Bank , Milwaukee , Wi . Nice addition to the Library.

 

An update to this thread.
My book arrived today, along with a note from the former owner.
He asked that I not give out his name, but his father was a high ranking executive at the former American Stock Exchange.
His father was given this book as a gift for 10 years of service. The vignettes are unbelievable, and printed on special paper inserted throughout the book. There is also a World map in the center of the book that shows all of the countries that have done business with the American Bank Note Company. If you're a collector that is interested in the history of bank note production, then this should be in your library. I've taken a couple of scans, one includes the gift card.

 

Enjoy it Steve.

 

Steve,

Congrats on picking up this book! It really is a special book if you are a collector of currency. I am very happy to have gotten one. It is one of the coolest books in my collection!

Best Regards ~ Darryl
