<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 851910, member: 24274&quot;]USS656 got me curious about the transfer cylinder die I picked up from the same seller. I&#039;ll post some pictures below. I was able to create a &quot;flat&quot; image from the die by rolling it along a flatbed scanner at exactly the same speed as the scanning bar...until I got a satisfactory result (about 20 times).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is definitely an American Bank Note die. I have an ABNC bond with the two men that flank the ship in the porthole. But I could use some help identifying the company/stock certificate this was used for. A couple clues:</p><p><br /></p><p>• The only lettering on the die is &quot;OF CLEVELAND&quot; centered in the bar below the ship. So, I think we can assume this is a Great Lakes shipping company. </p><p><br /></p><p>• The flanking men were probably engraved in the 1910s, so it&#039;s no older than that. But the ship looks more current, probably 1940s, maybe later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any maritime scripophily collectors out there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
