This is a vignette of the Statue of Liberty that's in the book "The History of the ABNCo. Photobucket repost [/QUOTE]
Received my copy while I was in Denver and have not even had a chance to look at it yet. Did verify that all of the pages with the vignettes are there and undamaged. Book looks clean and I look forward to reading it!

The ABNC roots go back to 185e or so. Check the book out for reference to the Farmers & Millers Bank , Milwaukee , Wi . Nice addition to the Library.
An update to this thread. My book arrived today, along with a note from the former owner. He asked that I not give out his name, but his father was a high ranking executive at the former American Stock Exchange. His father was given this book as a gift for 10 years of service. The vignettes are unbelievable, and printed on special paper inserted throughout the book. There is also a World map in the center of the book that shows all of the countries that have done business with the American Bank Note Company. If you're a collector that is interested in the history of bank note production, then this should be in your library. I've taken a couple of scans, one includes the gift card.
Steve, Congrats on picking up this book! It really is a special book if you are a collector of currency. I am very happy to have gotten one. It is one of the coolest books in my collection! Best Regards ~ Darryl
