    Vignette Book Compiled in the Bank Comptroller's Office of Madison, WisconsinScrapbook of finely engraved portraits and vignettes, clipped from unused bank notes in the office of the Bank Comptroller for the State of Wisconsin, by Lizzie Ramsey (then Hayes), in 1862 and 1863. Small 4to [27 by 20 cm], original full brown morocco; both covers paneled in gilt, with front cover bearing the name Ramsey in gilt; spine ruled in gilt. Handwritten note on front flyleaf reads: {blockquote}"The Steel Engravings herein were cut from new and unused bank bills in the Bank Comptroller Office in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1862-3, by my wife Lizzie. It has, and can have, no duplicate. It is to be given to our niece Alice Kasson. (signed) D.B. Ramsey Milwaukee 1894."{/blockquote} The volume includes 80 leaves of thick paper, on both sides of which are mounted 356 engraved specimens of portraits and vignettes. These have been very carefully clipped and neatly mounted by Miss Hayes (the couple married in 1865, having presumably met on the job--Dana B. Ramsey was at the time Deputy Bank Comptroller for the State of Wisconsin). The binding is rubbed and somewhat worn at the extremities, but the engravings are clean and crisp. A charming volume. Estimate $750. Ex: Margolis & Moss (10/1984). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15375 (realized $1920).

    1806 Memo Book for Bank Bills Extraordinary Record of Bills EncounteredTitle taken from handwritten note on rear cover. Small [18 by 10 cm] notebook of 24 pages with plain paper covers, stitched. Every page is covered with minute handwriting in which Phipps has recorded every bank bill that passed through his hands from January 1806 through June 1815 (this last recorded on the inside back cover). In each entry, he records the date of receipt, a description of the note (denomination, bank, serial number, signers), from whom it was received and to whom he passed it along, all in order to protect himself in the event he inadvertently passed a counterfeit bill. Front cover with some loss to top, else very good. The banks mentioned in the text seem primarily to be from Rhode Island or Connecticut, with some exceptions. An exceptional document, of considerable interest to anyone studying circulation of bank bills in this period. Estimate $750. Ex: Goodspeed's Book Shop (9/1957). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15373 (realized $312). Heritage link: http://www.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1283&lotIdNo=11214

    The Perkins Bank Bill Test The First Illustrated Bank Note DetectorConsisting of Original Impressions from the Permanent Stereotype Steel Plates of Massachusetts Paper Currency, Executed in Conformity to an Act of the Legislature, Passed March 3, 1809: Together with the Standard Check Plate, Which Will Apply Equally to Every Bank in the United States Which Has Adopted or Which May Adopt This Principle. Newburyport: Published by the Proprietor ... W. & J. Gilman, Printers, 1809. Folio [30 by 18.5 cm], contemporary or slightly later marbled paper covers. (4) pages; blank leaf; 3 blank leaves onto each of which is mounted steel-plate printed bank note designs. The Thomas W. Streeter copy, and one of the highlights of the Eric P. Newman library. The Perkins Bank Bill Test is a legendary rarity, lacking from nearly all of the major American numismatic libraries including Champa, Bass and Ford. Even the library of the American Numismatic Society does not have an original. Eric P. Newman acquired this copy in October 1969 from the last of a series of seven sales of the extraordinary library of Americana formed by Thomas W. Streeter; these sales comprise one of the most important book auctions ever conducted in this country. The George and Melvin Fuld library had a copy, sold in 1971 by Frank & Laurese Katen. That copy was most recently sold by George F. Kolbe in 1999. Jacob Perkins (1766-1849) was a polymath inventor who as a young man engraved dies for the copper coinage of Massachusetts, the Washington President coins, and for the Washington funeral medal. His invention of a stereotype steel plate for engraving bank notes, and a transfer process by which the various components of the plate could be identically reproduced ad infinitum, are perhaps the most famous of his numismatically oriented inventions. Perkins would go on to develop the press that created the world's first adhesive postage stamp, the Penny Black. This copy is exceptionally well-preserved and bears an impressive provenance. Plates slightly browned; rear cover with old folds; else fine. The Bank Bill Test features original impressions from the steel plates, and is exceptionally important not only in American numismatics but in the history of American engineering, inventing, and engraving. Estimate $10,000. Ex: Goodspeed's Book Shop (1943); Thomas W. Streeter; Parke-Bernet (October 1969). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
