<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2019109, member: 19065&quot;]BTW, Is the Maine $2 Canton Bank vignette (top right of center) the same as the one reproduced in the 1987 ABNCo Archive Series, plate titled &quot;Moments in History&quot; (upper left vignette).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/ABNCo%201987%20Archive%20Series/ABNCo_1987_05.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know it&#039;s a similar scene reproduced frequently on different notes, at different scales, etc. but I often wonder how much noodling with previous designs these companies did. That is, rather than start from scratch each time, did they alter, by reburnishing an original master pie plate, or start each from scratch. We minor design elements for security purposes altered to denote a different plate or use or adjusted to suit scale, design tastes, and so on. When merging or acquiring one company and it&#039;s inventory, was it best to alter previous work under the new firm, if reutilizing the property you acquired in merger, or something else... Just curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
