Description
Vacaville, California. $20 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 653. First NB. Charter #9795. PMG Very Fine 20.
Among a number of rare notes from Northern California, this example hails from the town of Vacaville, one of a number of inland communities whose prominence has much to do with agriculture. Like thousands of towns throughout the United States from 1863 to 1935, Vacaville was also home to a bank that issued currency with a distinctly local flavor. First chartered in 1910, the First National Bank would become the sole National Bank to serve this community in the northern portion of Solano County. A total of 19 individual notes are recorded from here by the National Bank Note Census, making notes from here a somewhat rare sight at auction, with the last offering dating back to 2018. This bank would later be absorbed by the Bank of Italy/Bank of America NT&SA (Charter# 13044) in 1932 after 22 years in business. One of a number of Northern California banks whose assets would fuel the rise of what would eventually become Bank of America in its current form.
From the Eric Agnew Collection.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
