    Descripción:
    [New York, NY] � Roosevelt St. Ferry Foot Pass Good for Half Cent ND (1850s-1870s). Cardboard Chit. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. Likely unique and with an important odd denomination collection pedigree. In June 1853, F.C. Havemeyer and his partners obtained a lease to run a ferry from Roosevelt Street in New York to Bridge Street in Brooklyn according to Historical Sketch of the Fulton Ferry. The lease stipulated that the ferry would run "at least once in every half hour, unless prevented by the elements, from sunrise to eight o'clock in the evening of each day." The lessees decided that instead of the one required boat, they would run three, hoping thereby to increase their profits. Instead, they ran it at a loss, selling out to the Union Ferry Company, who began operations with two boats in December 1853. According to volume 3 of A History of the City of Brooklyn October 1856, they began running only one boat, eventually selling in 1860 to the Brooklyn Ferry Company. In 1867, a ten-year-lease was issued to the New York and Brooklyn Ferry Company. A bright yellow cardboard chit with black dotted bordering and printing in three lines. 3.8cm by 2.1cm. No imprint. Noted with "Paper Pulls on Back; Small Edge Tear at UL." However, it has an excellent location, historical title, and might be a unique example . Ex: Criswell's Denomination Collection; Smythe & Co.'s Schingoethe Obsolete Currency Collection Part 7, July 11, 2006, lot 1253; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20169, realized $504.

    [New York, NY] � Peck Slip Ferry Foot Pass Good for Half Cent ND (1870s-1880s). Cardboard Chit. PCGS New 62 Apparent. Half-cent coins interested Eric greatly and half-cent notes are all extremely rare. Roger H. Durand in his 1988 "Denominations" book assigns this rarity "A" for this denomination (on a scale of A[dvanced] to B[asic]) and it is rarely encountered. According to volume 3 of A History of the City of Brooklyn, the Peck Slip Ferry, which ran from 1836 to 1869, "... contributed, it is believed, more largely than any other, to the growth of Williamsburgh by introducing the most respectable class of citizens, both mercantile and professional, together with the Grand street [sic] and Division Avenue ferries." The ferry ran between the foot of South Seventh Street in Williamsburg (near the present Williamsburg Bridge) and Peck Slip (near the present Brooklyn Bridge), a two-mile trip. White cardboard chit with blue floral bordering and red printing in three lines. 4.0cm by 2.1cm. No imprint. Noted with "Mounting Remnants and Stains on Back." A great rarity and fascinating piece of New York City history. Ex; NASCA, The Affleck Sale, January 10-12, 1983, lot 2163; Schingoethe Obsolete Currency Collection; Eric P.

    Descripción:
    New York, NY- Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church 25 Cents �for the support of Missions in Liberia, Africa Aug. 10, 1886 SCWPM-UNL. PCGS Very Good 8 Apparent. Eric was extremely interested in the American Anti-Slavery movement and the currency it spawned. Most of these issues are seldom encountered and this issuer is very rare. According to the July 1996 Methodist History, "Between 1820 and 1830, some 1420 free black Americans and emancipated slaves emigrated to Liberia, a tiny colony on the west coast of Africa. Liberian settlement was enthusiastically supported by many Methodist leaders who saw in Liberia not only a solution to the problem of slavery, but also a foothold for missions into the vast, unknown African interior." With the aim of spreading their faith and "civilizing" the African people, the Society sent 97 American missionaries from 1833 to 1875, with only black missionaries being sent from the mid-1850s onward. Lithographed by Snyder & Black, 92 William St., N.Y. on bond paper. A shield with an anchor and a banner reading FAITH. HOPE. CHARITY. is on a rock lapped by waves at the left; an allegorical female with a sheaf of grain and a torch stands at the right. A perpendicular red "25Cents" protector is at the center. This is only the second note from the issuer we have cataloged, but it is slightly later (the other 1881), has a stamped date (not written), and has a blue printed (not red) serial number. There are at least two remainder notes of the type known to us also, both in closely held collections. The issued example we cataloged previously realized $2,115 in January 2015. Grading notes "Edge and Internal Repairs; Small Rust Stains." A solid note, very rare, and important. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20166, realized $660.
