Description
Bakersfield, California. $5 1882 Date Back. Fr. 537. First NB. Charter #6044. PMG Choice Fine 15.
For a city the size of Bakersfield one would rightly expect a note from the First National Bank of Bakersfield to be quite common. However, as reality would have it, notes from this institution are a scarce sight with the lion's share of survivors for Bakersfield recorded on the National Bank/First National Bank (Charter# 10357) which amended its title a few years after the Producers National Bank, later known as the First National Bank (Charter# 11237) was absorbed by another bank after previously acquiring the First National Bank (Charter# 6044) via consolidation. A rare note born from the tumultuous nature of the banking industry; this note is just one of nine available to collectors outside of 14 total survivors recorded by the National Bank Note Census where the remainder are held forever away from the hands of appreciative collectors by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. To label this opportunity as rare is indeed quite fitting as this will be the first time a note from here has crossed the auction block in almost five years.
From the Eric Agnew Collection.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
