This is an otherwise bright and well printed Legal Ace that has had an oval advertisement embossed over Salmon P. Chase's portrait. It reads: "GEO A. GRAVES / IMPORTER & DEALER IN / HARDWARE AND CUTLERY / OPPOSITE / MASSASOIT HOUSE / SPRINGFIELD, MASS." While advertising notes resembling U.S. Currency are frequently seen, actual U.S. Notes used in the fashion are much rarer.
