This is an 18 Pence Colonial currency note from the state of New Jersey. It is the issue of March 25, 1776. New Jersey Colonial notes are not particularly rare, however, this one is signed by John Hart, Who, 130 days later on Aug. 2, 1776, also signed the Declaration of Independence. Hart was born in Hopewell, NJ on Dec. 21, 1713 and he died on May 11, 1779. In those days the punishment for counterfeiting was death. (See the last photo) Click on the photos for a better view.

This is a series 1901 $10 U.S. Legal Tender note that is known to most collectors as the “Bison” note. The note features a central portrait of a Bison that was engraved by Marcus W. Baldwin. The Bison is flanked by portraits of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark- engraved by G. F. C. Smilie. The note was produced to stimulate interest in the Lewis and Clark Exposition which was held in Portland Oregon in 1905. The Buffalo was believed to be a portrait of “Black Diamond” the animal depicted on the Buffalo nickel but in reality it was modeled after a stuffed Buffalo at the Smithsonian Institute. In 1850 more than 20 million Buffalo roamed The plains. By 1889 the census of animals was only 541 head! This note is one of the most popular collectible antique notes. This particular note grades Extremely Fine and it will not be in stock for long at about $2500.00

This is a Stock Certificate from the First National Bank of Ambler PA. It was issued on January 10, 1893 to James A Cozens and it represents 10 shares valued at $100.00 each. About one year’s salary for a skilled worker in 1893. It was sold on January 8, 1918 to W. G. Frank - signature guaranteed by the Cashier, W. A. Davis, who was also a prominent Undertaker in town. Click on the photos for the full image. I do not recognize the Cashier or Bank President who signed in 1893. Any thoughts? Frank Russo?

This is a $10 note, series 1929 from the First National Bank of Ambler. The bank was organized on May 12, 1884 and it had capital of $100,000. 00. Each share was $100.00. The original bank was replaced in 1923 by the building at S. Spring Garden Street and Butler ave. Which, I believe, now serves as a law office. The charter number, 3220, was unique to this bank. It went into receivership on March 26, 1934. At one time, Richard V. Mattison of Keasbey and Mattison company was the President of this bank. Coming soon... An original stock certificate from this bank. We collect this town, so these are not for sale.
