Ouch! I thought once you had something in your cart it was yours until you purchased it.
I'm trying to identify the mark on the back of this note (bottom left). Was this a counting mark stamped by the bank? And would something like...
Someone needs to buy this quick and save it from being dismembered for the frontispiece and the Lincoln engraving.
Today, I found the bookend to the House pass I posted earlier in this thread!! At a stamp show of all places. This is a 1912 Senate Chamber pass,...
Nothing like a big show to inspire you! I look forward to seeing what topic you finally land on. I'm going to try to post something else in the...

If you look closely, you'll see the ABNCo copyright insignia artfully engraved into many of these vignettes.

Don't get me started on trains, Midas. There's not enough storage space on this server. :) Those two are gorgeous! Really like the Manual Labor...
How'd I miss this thread? Love the website! So many great note and images -- and SO much historical information. I'm bookmarking it, too!...
Last batch: U.S. Steel had a great vignette of a blast furnace on their stock, with workers forging something big. Pocohontas Fuel Co. featured...
