  CATALOGUING FUN
  

  Reading auction lot descriptions can be enlightening and
  amusing. We note a couple items from the September 26,
  2003 sale by Heritage's Currency Auctions of America.
  

  Lot 1046 is a 25 cent New York, NY scrip note which
  "bears one of the great all time vignettes used on any
  scrip note, depicting a crowd of thin, almost stick figures,
  rushing to enter the establishment, while from the other
  door pours a group of obviously well fed and corpulent
  individuals, no doubt sated after dining at this eatery."
  (Pettit & Crook, Harris 872)
  

  The cataloguer describes lot 1082, a 25 cent notes from
  Archibald & John C. Blue as "an interesting notes from
  the Blue's brothers, printed, quite appropriately, in blue."
