Right now there is a set on eBay -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330421432982&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 I don't think...
I'll have to go digging, but I'm sure I have a few. In general CBN used the same plates as ABN -- it was their northern subisidiary.
Just one observation, and this isn't meant in a sarcastic way: what's the point in keeping the slabs once you've cracked them? The proof of...
It's an intaglio print from the original American Bank Note plates.
And then the Communists took over and everything went to lithography. :D
Hmm, something happened with the Franklin ticket. Let me repost. Sorry about the moire (checkerboard) pattern. The background really looks just...
Whoa--recently? You got a deal! I've been tracking the Handel ticket on eBay and it's been selling consistently for about $70 by itself. The...
Beautiful! One of my favorite panels. My other transfer die includes the widest image shown here -- the one with the train in the distance. Yeah,...
Darryl, I have some of these vellums, too. I'm pretty sure they were printed to illustrate various ABNC annual reports. These were probably...
Gees, $65 for one intaglio? Even in Canadian dollars that seems a bit steep. Bet you can find most of these on original securities for a lot less.
This bothers me a lot. I started seeing it a couple years ago and the first time they were offered some of the vignettes sold to unsuspecting...
Mucha's work epitomizes the Art Nouveau era. His art postcards from the period are worth hundreds. Great presentation!
"illuminated show cards" -- wonder what those were. Dave M: ABNC was well known for its intaglios, but they also tried marketing to low-end...
If you mean commemorative panels in general, most of the ones from 1972 through 1990 can be had for $5 or less on eBay -- if you're patient. It's...
Darryl, if you ever get a hold of a flat printing plate, I know someone with a spider press. Unfortunately he can't do much with a cylinder die.
One more for you then! Not really a souvenir card -- this is commemorative panel issued by the USPS. But the intaglio vignettes are all from ABNC....
At first glance I thought these were rubbings. Intaglio really does require a lot of pressure -- probably more than you weigh, Darryl. :) I think...
I was surprised at some of the unsold dies, too. And my die was MUCH cheaper on eBay than the first one I bought at auction. (Yeah I'll get around...
Thought you might like the Brooklyn Bridge invitation, Krispy. The was engraved by Tiffany & Co, btw.
Lettow, where did you come across this bond? I've never seen one like it!
