Santa Paula, California. $5 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 600. First NB of Santa Paula. Charter #4120. PMG Very Fine 30.
A rare charter even by the standards of California. First organized in 1889, the First National Bank of Santa Paula served this small community between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles overlooking the Santa Clara River until 1924. Just 12 notes are recorded here by the National Bank Note Census where this example quite possibly represents the finest known of its fellow survivors. Bearing in mind the fact that it can be years between a note from this bank being offered at public auction; collectors with an interest in California Nationals should consider their options carefully and bid accordingly if they wish to call this piece their own.
From the Eric Agnew Collection.
