- Lecompton, KS - State Bank $5 Nov. 1, 1856 KS-55 G8a, Whitfield 336. Remainder. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. W. L. Ormsby engraved a few series of notes during the Kansas Territorial period, mostly from Leavenworth as seen in the Newman Collection sales. 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, five cherubs with floral wreaths frolic across the face of this note in an arcing pattern. The back has five intersecting orange "Washington" 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forces gained control of the legislature in the elections of 1857, disavowed the "Lecompton Constitution" and repealed the pro-slavery territorial statutes.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 "Minor Stains." This is a very distinctive note, and difficult to obtain. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016).

- Lawrence, KS - Lawrence Bank $2 Nov. 1, 1862 KS-40 G4a, Whitfield-214. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. A rarely seen issued note from this extremely colorful Kansas series printed using the (George) "Lymen's Protection" and engraved by the American Banknote Company. Lymen's Protection was used on only very few issues (most often seen on Detroit's State Bank of Michigan) and, along with the red tint, divided the note into different compartment widths depending on the denomination. In the full red-tinted $2 layout, the note is divided straight in half. In the left compartment, the steamboat Lawrence sails along the bottom half and above, in the white space die, is a description of the protection device. In the right compartment are titles, obligations, and an outlined cursive TWO protector. The bank suffered a fire, among other setbacks, and specialists have believed that no properly issued notes were emitted. However, this is actually an issued note. Our experience rates the remainders as a High Rarity-5 (11-25 known) as opposed to the listed Rarity-6 (6-10 known) published in the original Whitfield reference. This issued note though is a specialist's dream example. Noted is a "Tape Repair at UR Corner; Edge Splits and Tears." This rarity has bold color and significant paper body remaining. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $1116.25

- Ft. Leavenworth, KS - Drovers Bank $2 July 1, 1856 KS-30 G4a, Whitfield 116. PCGS Choice About New 55. This title has a very distinctive full-length vignette style by W. L. Ormsby. As is fitting for the title, almost the entire face is composed of livestock. The back of the note shows two intersecting circular patterns of denominational red micro-lettering. The intricate designs and placement of the signatures on top of "TWO" dies made the note impossible to raise. Virtually Uncirculated, well margined for the type, and very scarce in this choice condition. This is one of the most popular Obsolete vignette styles. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $587.50
