<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1302605, member: 12789&quot;]In the late teens of the 20th century ABNCo&#039;s Ottawa operation was spun off from the rest of the corporation and became known as &quot;Canadian Bank Note Company&quot; while retaining the previous business etc.&nbsp; The banknotes created for the various institutions continued to be printed, but this time with the imprint of the new company:</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/canada/canadabankoftoronto51929dtl3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">And of course they retained the proprietary vignettes for particular banks such as &quot;Bank of Toronto&quot;</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/canada/canadabankoftoronto51929.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>Without any semblance of doubt a 19th century design that served long even in reduced form after 1935 and until Charter notes were discontinued during WWII.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/canada/canadabankoftoronto51929dtl1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/canada/canadabankoftoronto51929dtl2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>This vignette, or rather, it&#039;s odd placement in the vertical of a&nbsp; horizontal note is rather curious.&nbsp; I conjecture that perhaps rather&nbsp; than it&#039;s placement being a result of tight space, that rather it was&nbsp; part of the design as a different anti-counterfeiting measure as this&nbsp; would create a challenge for a forger having to rotate a printing die.</p><p><br /></p><p>This note is also my most recent note acquisition - I have been sort of out of circulation with collecting my themed notes lately, but this came across in a large collection of 19th century USA obsoletes and I had to have it.&nbsp; Curiously it was the only post 1875 note in the whole collection and was likely included by the previous owner because of the dated design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
