Description
Uncut Sheet of (6) New London, Connecticut. $10 1929 Ty. 2. Fr. 1801-2. National Whaling Bank. Charter #978. PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ. Serial Number 1.
Like its Type 1 counterpart; the presence of this sheet at auction is years and decades in the making. Last offered publicly in 1970 this sheet is nothing short of remarkable as one of the relatively few uncut sheets to be offered at auction from the Nutmeg State. Representative of the National Whaling Bank of New London; this institution is one of the most recognizable "occupational" titles in the realm of collecting Nationals. Evocative of a time when the fruits of whaling were crucial to lighting the United States and the rest of the world before electricity became widespread; this sheet is more than a souvenir but also a monument to an industry that placed New London among the ranks of some of the significant cities of the Nineteenth Century.
From the "This Buck Stopped Here" Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
