Description
Finest Known Guthrie Territorial
Guthrie, OT - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 499 The Capitol NB Ch. # (W)4705This somewhat ill-named bank took its title from the fact that Guthrie was the capital of the Oklahoma Territory and then capital of the state of Oklahoma until June of 1910, when the capital was moved (the local expression remains "stolen") by legislative order to Oklahoma City. By that time this institution was long gone, having failed in 1904 after issuing Brown Back Territorials only. Three notes are known, two low grade tens and this lovely pen signed twenty. We sold one of the tens in 1997 and the other in 1998, and neither have appeared since. This piece last sold in 2000, when it realized $19,250. It is the finest known Territorial from any Guthrie bank, and a lovely note worthy of the finest of collections. Very Fine-Extremely Fine, a most attractive Territorial.
