Hey, I recognize that vignette! If you want to see the original engraving, it's on a souvenir card : [IMG]
I guess this topic might need a little bump. I've picked up a few new items in the last couple years. Are there any members out there that like...
I found the Hunkman's head! He was used on a stock certificate for Union Fidelity corp. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You nailed it! So that was an artist's rendition that was never built -- the Lexington became one of our first aircraft carriers. I am learning a...
And the battleships keep on coming! A friend shared a scan of a 1923 Navy Discharge Certificate featuring yet another ship. This one looks similar...
Were they steam or diesel engines, Les?
I added a few more to the collection last week, so guess I'll add a few here. The railroads are always popular. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
It's Halloween again! Time to reanimate this zombie thread with some fresh creatures. Here's another pair of winged lions ... [ATTACH] A couple...

And to dovetail back into the original topic, I remembered there is another souvenir card that features the $2 battleship note -- B-116. This one...
Okay, here we go. The first vignette is the Battleship Maine, which was the catalyst for the Spanish-American War. This was used on at least two...
Fascinating diagrams Bradley -- thanks for posting those! Let me hijack this thread slightly with another souvenir card. This is B-275 and it...

There are three on ebay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HISTORIC-AMERICAN-CURRENCY-5-5-OZ-SILVER-100-NOTE-LIBERTY-BANK-2279/114248729106...
