<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1948363, member: 24274&quot;]Time to give this thread another bump. I&#039;m not sure this next item qualifies as a a souvenir card (it&#039;s not a souvenir, per se), but it shares many of the same properties. It was produced by the American Bank Note Co. and the vignettes show up on other cards, bonds, and obsolete currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>Following the Civil War, many Northern states honored their veterans with award certificates. These are huge certificates, on par with the award diplomas issued for some of the early World&#039;s Fair expositions. Much too big for a single scan, but here are some photos. This one is from New Hampshire, but I&#039;ve also seen them from Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts, all by ABNCo. I suspect there may be others. There are also a couple Soldier&#039;s Monument Associations with similar membership certificates.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re aware of other pieces like this please PM me!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]339633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]339635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]339636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]339637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]339638[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
