<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2068160, member: 24274&quot;]I got two vignette proofs in today&#039;s mail that make me very happy. One is of &quot;Justice&quot; and I already have a usage among my taxpaid revenues. She appears on an 1868 distilled spirits &quot;Stock on Hand&quot; stamp (not quite sure how this tax worked). Interestingly the tax stamps says &quot;Engraved and Printed at the Treasury Department&quot; (pre-BEP) but I&#039;ve also seen her on an 1860s Treasury bond that was produced by Continental Bank Note. My guess is that Continental was eventually required to turn the plates over to the Treasury.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other one has an image that just makes me smile. This one is entitled &quot;Galatea&quot; (though &quot;Nereids&quot; would seem more appropriate for those who know their Greek mythology). The cherubs on this are fantastic! National Bank Note engraved this and I&#039;m sure I&#039;ve seen it somewhere, but can&#039;t quite place it. If anyone can pin it down, let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one more coming that should be really special if I can search out a little more information...[ATTACH=full]382331[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382336[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
