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."- 2003-10-12
