Maybe it will inspire&nbsp; other members to add some new items.</p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t an obsolete note, it&#039;s a promissory note, but it was issued in the same time period -- 1851. What I really liked was the small engraving of a very early train. The passenger car looks distinctly like a stagecoach, doesn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]669389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]669390[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Baltimore &amp; Ohio was the first railroad to issue engraved stock certificates in 1835. The central vignette looks very much like the train above, from a different angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]669395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]669396[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
