Description

Right end, Commerce seated. No titles or text. Design of Haxby CT-25 G28, but incomplete. An unfinished proof with excellent vignette structure. This came from the ABN Sale and was part of a large transaction of Bridgeport proofs many years back that included the legendary Barnum vignetted proofs. These "essay" style proofs are quite affordable and attractive. Annotation in field stating the bank's name.
