<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1721259, member: 24274&quot;]That West Shore RR bond always makes me smile. Did you notice the due date on it? 2361! It was a 400+ year bond.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up a *gorgeous* piece last week for a pittance -- an 1872 bond from the Kentucky and Great Eastern Railway. This one is partially signed but unissued. The vignettes are terrific, both front and back, including the central one entitled &quot;Boone rescued by Kenton.&quot; I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a story in that one. It has some microprinting showing it was engraved in 1858 for Rawdon, Wright, Hatch &amp; Edson, the same year American Bank Note was formed. (It&#039;s an ABN bond, of course.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
