Auction 310 | Lot 19078 » National Bank Notes » Illinois

Champaign, IL - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The Champaign NB Ch. # 2829
A great note from Champaign's truly rare bank, with this the only Brown Back from here we know of. Mr. Herget paid all of $25 for this item when he purchased it from Hickman & Waters November 1970 price list. Our best guess is that this well circulated pen signed Very Good example with the top right margin trimmed in a bit will sell for somewhat in excess of that figure this evening.
From the Hickman & Waters fixed price list of November, 1970.

Auction 310 | Lot 19329 » National Bank Notes » Illinois

Oak Park, IL - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 The First NB Ch. # (M)11507
The only bank to issue in the much in demand Chicago suburb, famous for its cluster of Frank Lloyd Wright designed residences.

Auction 310 | Lot 18884 » National Bank Notes » Alabama

Mobile, AL - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 1595
A very rare note, like all Alabama aces. Even the Alabama collection we sold two years ago, though it contained a $100 First Charter, lacked any ace from this state. While well circulated, and with a few repaired splits, the note is basically sound and eminently collectible. If rarity is any guide, expect this Very Good example to easily reach, and perhaps well exceed...

Fortunately for this generation of collectors, a group of First Charter ones and twos from this bank was put away many years ago, all in circulated grade. This example is one of the nicer ones. Bright Very Fine, the top margin a bit close.
From the Chet Taylor collection purchase of 1989.

Chicago, IL - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Fourth NB Ch. # 276
An exceptional note from a just plain rare Chicago bank which issued Original Series First Charters only before it entered receivership in 1876. Just five notes are recorded in the Kelly census, and we doubt any are nicer than this bright and vividly colored beauty. Extremely Fine, with every positive attribute a collector could hope for.

Chicago, IL - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Manufacturers NB Ch. # 724
An excessively rare bank which went out in 1873. Just two examples are known, and our records show that it has been twenty years to the very day since any example from here has been available to the collecting fraternity via public sale. Fine+, a great opportunity which might not again be available for another two decades.

Quincy, IL - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 424
First Charters and Brown Backs only from this excessively rare bank, with the Kelly census showing just one example. This piece turned up fifteen years ago and disappeared from the market immediately, going directly to the Herget collection. Now it is available to a new generation of collectors. Very Good, with a few small and well executed repairs, but still a rather good looking note for the grade.
Purchased from I. Nelson Clark in 1988.
