<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1532662, member: 12789"]The signatures varied from bank to bank. Sometimes they were all handsigned for smaller banks, some had the cashier sign and the president had a signature stamp, some had both signatures stamped and some were custom printed on the notes when the bank got them - the latter would be more likely the larger NYC banks that issued tonnes of notes. For my little locale they had the same president handsigning the notes from ca. 1893 on up to their last issues of large sized in 1927, then his signature was printed on the small sized notes issued through 1935. He continued on as president of the bank until his death in 1950. The best part for me is that he is a very distant relative of mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
