    Hey guy's, a few weeks back I posted an image of this note [​IMG]

    I have done some digging and found out from a very well respected source that it was once owned by the famous Robert F. Schemerhorn.

    Here is a little blurb I found on him on the Net! I could not find an author so the link only is listed.

    Many of you know that a passion of mine is finding out about the collectors themselves and who, what and when they got motivated to collect.

    I have written to the Town of Big Spring Texas in hope of gathering an image of the former owner of this note!

    Take the time to read this, it is at least to me amazing how little info is available on our pioneers of the hobby!

    Once you open the link, scroll down to the Schemerhorn Collection.
