Description
Taunton, MA- Machinists' Bank $20 Aug. 1, 1860 G16a Proof PCGS Banknote Choice AU 58 Details.The bank was chartered in 1847 and remained in business until the spring of 1865 when it was succeeded by the Machinists National Bank of Taunton. The $20 design features a vignette of a sailor with a speaking trumpet titled The Hail engraved by Alfred Jones and W.C. Smillie flanked by two green interlocking numeral 20 protectors and a striking green TWENTY protector panel below. The note is printed on India paper with four POCs in the signature lines. The back of the note displays evidence of previous mounting in the corners and margins including a small missing portion of the lower right corner. We are presently aware of two examples of this note, with this piece serving as the plate note in both the Haxby and Bowers catalogs.
