    Lecompton, KS - State Bank $3 Nov. 1, 1856 KS-55 G6a, Whitfield 335. Remainder. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. W. L. Ormsby engraved a few series of notes during the Kansas Territorial period, mostly from Leavenworth as seen in this sale. The State Bank notes from Lecompton are much rarer than those, and visually striking like most Ormsby notes. As anti-raising devices for each denomination, the cherub was used as a counter, with one cherub per $1 of denomination (2 cherubs on the $2, and so on). The series also used the Ormsby orange color backs. Within the frame of ornate shield corners and filigree, three cherubs with floral wreaths frolic across the face of this note. The back has a three intersecting orange "target" dies. Lecompton, founded in 1854, was named for Samuel D. Lecompte, the first Chief Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court. In 1855, the town became the capital of the Kansas Territory. Lecompton was home to many pro-slavery advocates; Kansas was a hotbed of debate on the Abolition issue. Eventually, the anti-slavery forces gained control of the legislature in the elections of 1857, disavowed "Lecompton Constitution" and repealed the pro-slavery territorial statutes. The victorious Free Soil Party took Kansas into the Union in 1861 and the capital was moved to Topeka, leaving Lecompton a comparative footnote today. Noted with "Small Rust Stains." This is a very distinctive rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $646.25. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18312. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Lawrence, KS - Redwing Bank-pay at my Office 25 Market St., Boston $5 April 18, 1857 KS-45 G8a, Whitfield 242. Remainder. PCGS Very Fine 25. A mysterious issue engraved by Wellstood, Hay, & Whiting, New York & Boston, and portraying itself as a "banknote." The obligation contains "I promise to pay..." and, though purporting to be a Kansas note, a trip to Boston was necessary for payment. Native American hunters on horseback take stock of a passing train in the vignette at upper left. In the center is an oval portrait of a woman holding a small bouquet of flowers. At the right end, one of the two Native American men seems to contemplate scaling the enormous "5" numeral on which vines have taken root. Steven Whitfield rated all denominations from this series as Rarity-7 types, but like the Lawrence Bank notes, that might be liberal now. With additional notes discovered in the past 30 years, a Rarity-6 rating might be more accurate. The similar grade $2 note from this series in Newman Part VI realized $1,410. This is just as scarce and desirable. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $646.25. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18311. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Lawrence, KS - Lawrence Bank $1 18__ KS-40 G2a, Whitfield 213. Remainder. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 PPQ. A riveting beauty from this extremely colorful Kansas series printed using the (George) "Lymen's Protection" and engraved by the American Banknote Company. The Lymen's Protection was used on only very few issues (most often seen on Detroit's State Bank of Michigan). Along with the red tint, it divided the note into different compartment widths depending on the denomination. In this full red-tinted $1 layout, the note is divided into 2/3 at left and 1/3 at right. In the larger portion are two vignettes: a veiled woman in an oval frame and a farmer carrying a heavy sack of grain from the mill. The bank suffered a fire, among other setbacks, and it is possible that no properly issued notes were issued. Our experience rates this as a High Rarity-5 (11-25 known) as opposed to the listed Rarity-6 (6-10 known) published in the original Whitfield reference. However, this excellent example is one of the finer we have seen. The margins are close and typical for the series, but the color and style is exceptional. Ex: Eric P.

    Dubuque, IA - Dubuque & Sioux City Rail Road Co. $3 (186?) Oakes 52-3. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. This is a rare railroad company series issued from Dubuque and lithographed by Edward Mendel, Chicago. The note was GOOD FOR FREIGHT OR FARE as specified in the top border. Vignettes adapted from engraved Toppan, Carpenter & Co. Obsolete banknotes of the period include a surveying team working at the right end, under the curve of the long title, and a lower left corner vignette of seated America with eagle and globe. Inside the color frame is a "3" counter, and the upper left die has a color surround. This is a rare denomination and the signature combination is interesting as the note is signed by the "vice" president of the railroad as observed on the Oakes plate note. The date, which has faded, was written at the upper right diminutively and discretely. We have handled only three notes from the series, and one was damaged. The denomination was not in the Tom Flynn collection, a collector who strived to obtain all the rarities of Dubuque, his hometown. Flynn's $2 note, sold at our 2008 Long Beach Signature sale for $863, did not have the bright eye appeal of this rarer $3 denomination. Noted only with some "Small Repairs." Bold color and attractive rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4935.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18308. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Davenport, IA - Burrows & Prettyman $3 Aug. 27, 1857 Oakes 30-2. PCGS Very Fine 20. This is a rare and attractive note from an interesting private issuer. The partners issued a large circulation, perhaps the reported, $100,000 at its peak. Most notes seemed to have been honored at the time and property was sold during the 1857 panic to redeem remaining notes, as we have observed relatively few survivors. Engraved with a banknote style by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson. At top center are sheaves of wheat and barrels, one of which says "Albion Mills." At bottom left, a farmer sharpens a long scythe. At bottom right is Plenty, holding a sheaf of wheat and curved scythe, seated next to a basket replete with produce. Listed as a Rarity-5 (11-25 known) in Oakes reference, the type seems rarer to us. This is a beautiful example and our only auction record is for $920 in the 2010 FUN Signature sale, in lesser grade. This is a beautiful $3 bill for the finest collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4347.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18307. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
