Fr. 1309 25ยข Fifth Issue Original Bundle of 200 Choice About New.
A second original bundle of 200 from The National Bank Fruitcake Find. The reason behind the name of this find is that these Fractional notes were stored in a Benson's Sliced Old Home Fruit Cake of Athens, Georgia box within the bank's vault. Benson's Bakery was founded in 1918 and added a fruitcake line in the early 1950s. A bank employee must have decided that the Benson's box would make an excellent storage container for the bank's Fractional holdings. The Fr. 1309 bundle in this lot is much like the others in this historical find. It has a correct Fractional 50 Dollars band of the period, the ends of the band have been joined under the bottom edges of the notes with two bank pins, the same two names of possible tellers have been penciled on the band, and the band shows a little splitting, but remains in nice condition for being 150 years old. The first note has plate letter H, but all of the other 199 notes are either plate letter "B" or "I." Several of the notes also have wrinkles from the drying process. We would like to point out that not a single Walker in this bundle has a needle hole. Also, all of the notes in this original bundle are of the same size. (Total: 200 notes)
