<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1683206, member: 38692&quot;]Today&#039;s new pickup is a neat historical item, not even sure the best term to describe it, perhaps a promissory note issued to a member of the Continental Army from Connecticut for nine pounds and nine shillings. I saw this and thought it was really neat, so I took a shot and got it. Back shows several iterations of interest payment on the note. Obviously kept for a long time, the constant folding and unfolding of the weak paper got to the point they sewed it back together - no tape for you! This is not uncommon on these notes and it&#039;s contemporary to the time, so it&#039;s not like someone did this a few years back, nope, that note got sewed in 1780 something... neat piece of history methinks.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/CTF_zps0ee83f11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/CTB_zps7437f59a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
