Do you know the name of the Battleship Rickie? that would add another dimension to the note :smile

 

I love that $10 reverse, but curiously not because she is beautiful. Rather she looks curiously mannish in facial appearance, and the rest of her anatomy suggest a rather curious creature of an engraver's humour!

But the battlewagon on the reverse of the 1918 deuce is a classic. Dontcha just think that the BEP fell off the turnip truck after the 1918 FRN's?

 

Great looking note, RickieB !! What caught my eye is the ship on liberty's right side. Both ships look like the are moving in a forward motion but the smoke from the back smoke stack of the ship on the right is also moving in a forward motion.

I love that Battleship $2 note. Those have always been one of my favorites.

One of my interests has always been military technology, and when it comes to the Navy I have always had a deep love for battleships. Here is what I see on this note. First, due to the age of the note I assumed the ship pictured was a pre-WWI class of battleship. Plus, the appearance of the ship indicated that. There are 2 forward facing gun turrets towards the bow of the ship just in front of the bridge. The ship has 2 stacks as well as 2 masts. So, the only type of American battleship that I know of that fits all those characterists is a Kearsarge Class Battleship.

There were 2 Kearsarge Class Battleship's built. The first was the USS Kearsarge (BB-5) and the second was the USS Kentucky (BB-6). So, I assume the ship on the note is one of those.

 

I believe there is only one battlewagon still around from that era, that is the USS Texas that is berthed right near the San Jacinto Monument south of Houston. It is a lovely ship and well worth a trip to see.

 

Those battle ships where called dreadnought fighting ships. The ship depicted on this type of note is generic.

Love the note Ricky!!

Huh? The Comprehensive Catalog (Hessler/Chambliss) says it's the USS New York....

 

Numbers, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. That would make RieckieB's 2 dollar note that more interesting, USS New Your for RieckieB's New Your collection. I got my info from "A Guide Book of United States Paper Money", compiled by Ira and Arthur Friedberg.

Yes indeed...it is the USS New York!

RickieB

 

Lou...this is exactly why I bought this note..USS New York...for the New York Collection.

Thanks for taking a look...

If so, it is not an accurate image of the USS New York. A New York Class Battleship (of which there was 2, the USS New York and USS Texas) has only one smoke stack. The ship on the note clearly has 2.

Here is a photo of the USS New York:
