Message:: [QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1368779, member: 24274"]Okay, last batch -- I've strung this out long enough. This is another mixed bunch, but a couple more train vignettes. The locomotive in the station is an American Bank Note vignette; I have it on a blank stock certificate that ABNCo produced for other companies to finish. "Freight Car" is another ABNCo engraving. I was trying to identify the rail line -- looks like "T&U RR" on the boxcar, but I can't figure out what that stands for. No information on the vignette of the maiden overlooking the harbor, but I'll wager it's by the same company as the two ladies beside the dynamo posted earlier. The paper backers are identical. Indians stalking deer is one of only two I own that depict Native Americans. It was engraved in the 1850s by Jocelyn, Draper, Welsh & Co., a predecessor to ABNCo. Lastly, one of my favorites, an allegorical vignette of three female figures in the clouds. I've seen this on a number of obsolete notes, but alas, I didn't write down the issuing banks. Any help is appreciated. So there you have my entire collection of vignette proofs -- hope you enjoyed looking through them. No doubt I'll begin to find examples of usages on these, which I'll try to post for reference. I welcome other collectors to post related images, as well.[/QUOTE]
