Fr. 628 $10 1902ND
Demopolis, Commercial NB, S10035
There were two national banks in this Marengo County location, but this is the one that is seen more often. There are 13 large notes reported. The cut on this note is tight into the bottom margin and the red signatures are light, but the appearance is good.

Goodwater, First NB, 12960
This was the only town in Coosa County to issue nationals and there are only a total of six small and three large notes reported. This note is used but pleasing. It is a serious piece for a county collector. From the Huntoon Collection.

Lincoln, First NB, 10131
This note has both quality and rarity as it is the finest of the three large notes reported from a one-bank Talladega County community. The signatures make this note spectacular, with the clear, purple stamped signatures of J. Watson, President and B.S. Watson, Cashier. From the Huntoon Collection.

Clifton, First NB, P5821
The only known valuebacks from the entire state of Arizona are the six on this bank. If you enjoy unmolested quality, then this note is a must for you. Records now show 13 large notes reported in what is probably the most thorough census in America, as Peter Huntoon has always been relentless in his pursuit for knowledge. Because this note is the first to be offered tonight, do not overlook it. It has virtually perfect stamped signatures and excellent paper quality, but the hand cut margins are obvious. Clifton was formed in the 1870s and thrived for decades as a copper mining community. It is located east of Phoenix and Tucson, 200 miles and 165 miles respectively. From the Huntoon Collection.
Grade: VF/XF    Bank Name: Clifton, First NB, P5821

Fr. 602 $5 1902ND
Douglas, First NB, P6633
Douglas is located in Cochise County in extreme southeast Arizona, out by Bisbee and Tombstone. This town was settled in 1901 and the national bank came along in 1902, just after being named for Dr. Stewart Douglas who later became an assayer for the Copper Queen Mining Company. There are only four state notes reported and the issue was approximately 12,000 sheets. The only note I handled was the red seal territorial from Amon Carter and then on to Richard Dreger some 20 years ago; it later sold with Dreger's red seal collection. The signature of B.A. Packard is easy to see but the cashier, which may also be a Packard, is well printed, but I just can't see what it says. From the Huntoon Collection.
Grade: Fine    Bank Name: Douglas, First NB, P6633

Fr. 606 $5 1902ND
Flagstaff, First NB, P11120
Flagstaff was established as the county seat of Coconino County in 1891, but was named in 1884 after a new depot was built and the town formed up around it. For some reason the town's only national bank was opened in 1917 and lasted into 1931. The note is an excellent example with stamped signatures. It appears there is a parenthesis around the printed word "cashier" under the officer's signatures. There are 10 large and one small notes reported, but I cannot recall my last opportunity to obtain or handle a note from this town. From the Huntoon Collection.
Grade: Fine    Bank Name: Flagstaff, First NB, P11120
Lot #1299 - National Bank Notes > Arizona - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 632 $10 1902ND
Florence, First NB, P10998
Florence, the county seat of Pinal County, is conveniently located between Tucson and Phoenix. It was established in 1866, and there are several different versions for whom it was named. The town became an agricultural community in 1921 after Ashurst-Hayde Diverse Dam was built. It is also home of the Arizona State Prison. There are only five large notes reported and no small notes were issued. This is the finest of the five known. This note has pen signatures of J.B. Brown, Cashier, but the president's signature is not legible. No doubt one of the state's rarest blue seals with only 4,748 total sheets ever printed by the bank. From the Huntoon Collection.
Grade: VF    Bank Name: Florence, First NB, P10998

Fr. 616 $10 1902DB
Globe, Territory of Arizona, First NB, P6579
The Globe mining district was formed in 1872, with silver and then copper becoming the mainstays of this isolated area, about 100 miles from anywhere, but in the midst of the Apache, who were not at all enamored with the new settlers, and letting that be known. Stories of just about everyone who was trouble in the early days of Arizona can be connected to Globe in some form that there is a rich history. There are three territorials known on this bank, including a red seal and another blue seal of about the same grade. This note is pen signed by J.N. Porter, President, and J.N. Robinson, Cashier. This note was part of the holdings of Amon Carter which I handled in 1984. My notation with the Globe note stated this was one of two great Arizona territorials I had acquired, apparently another came later. Dated October 22, 1902. From the Huntoon Collection.

Holbrook, First NB, 12198
Holbrook was named in 1881 for the Chief Engineer of the railroad, Henry R. Holbrook, but the first settler was Juan Padilla. After the railroad arrived in 1881, it quickly was established as a shipping and distribution center for southeast Arizona. The town is near several major Indian reservations as well, but it had no national bank until 1922. There are 10 notes reported on this bank, but eight are in various conditions from being buried, so, if you want a good one there are only two available of the 3,837 sheets of large notes issued. The signatures on this note are faint. From the Huntoon Collection.
Grade: Fine    Bank Name: Holbrook, First NB, 12198

Holbrook, First NB, 12198
This is one of only three small notes reported from this Navajo County bank. I have never handled or ever had a chance to obtain a small size from this bank. With the number of collectors of small size continually increasing, I would expect lot of interest in this note. From the Huntoon Collection.

Mesa, First NB, 11130
A beautiful example from Maricopa County near Phoenix. There are 25 small notes reported from this bank, but virtually none, except the #1, are likely to be more attractive than this beauty. The best we have seen in some time. From the Huntoon Collection.

Nogales, Territory of Arizona, Sandoval NB, P6591
Nogales was established in 1880 by Jacob Isaac Isaacson who built a trading post along the border. Two years later, the first railroad between Mexico and the U.S. connected there. The proximity to the border has long served as a conduit between the two countries. There are five territorials known on this bank; four are red seals, one is only VG and the #1 is still in the Higgins Museum (I think). This is one of two serial #2 notes known and both are listed as AU. This is from the Huntoon Collection and had to be a source of great pride and joy. It bears a date of January 3, 1903, and the signatures of Bracey Curtis, Cashier and a very faint W. Schuckman, President. In 1906 the paid up capital was $50,000 and the deposits $120,000. This red seal, and its mate, are two of the three highest grade territorials on the state and it surely deserves a record price. From the Huntoon Collection.

Nogales, First NB, 6591
A lovely small size note from the second title of the Sandoval National Bank on the border in Santa Cruz County. Only two others, of the 23 small notes reported, are listed as VF and this one is a beauty. It is a rare opportunity to find this bank offered, but then this is an amazing collection. From the Huntoon Collection.

Fr. 632 $10 1902ND
Nogales, NB, 11012
This was the second of the community's two national banks, and it was chartered in 1917, issuing 8,960 sheets of $10-10-10-20s. This is by far the finest known from this bank, and it has well stamped purple signatures. No doubt the quality and rarity will push the price of this jewel. From the Huntoon Collection.

Nogales, NB, 11012
This is one of only three small notes reported from this bank, which has remained one of the state's most elusive. Only 1,218 sheets were issued before the bank closed in 1931, likely returning a number of the sheets at that time. From the Huntoon Collection.

Phoenix, Territory of Arizona, NB of Arizona, 3728
Imagine the stories this note must have carried with it through the generations. Mining, outlaws, railroads, farmers and Indians, there can be no stopping the imagination. A rugged piece of Arizona history. This is one of six territorials known on the state capital of Arizona. Although this note has seen plenty of use it is problem-free, with pen signatures, of MW. Kales, President and G.W. Hoadley, Cashier, that are still legible. This note bears an 1887 plate date. From the Huntoon Collection.

Fr. 626 $10 1902ND
Phoenix, First NB of Arizona, 3728
This note from the state capital is a perfect Fine with excellent stamped signatures of C.H. McKellips and C. Washburn. Is this really a territorial with the 1907 plate date or was this issue printed after statehood with the same plate date? The double serial numbers certainly indicate a later printing date, around 1922 I think. I will try to figure it out before the sale and let you know for sure. This note seems to be new to the census. There is a tiny split in the bottom and the top could have more margins. From the Huntoon Collection.

Phoenix, NB, P4729
A very desirable blue seal dated barely a month after statehood, and a dateback as well. This note has excellent stamped signatures of H.J. McClung and H.D. Marshall, Jr. This bank's deposits were nearly $3,000,000 by 1916. A wonderful piece of Arizona banking history. From the Huntoon Collection.

By the time small size was printed, L.H. Chalmers had become president and there are 67 small notes reported. It appears very few of these may actually be a higher grade than this note. From the Huntoon Collection.

Phoenix, Commercial NB, P11559
This bank was short-lived being chartered in 1919 and liquidated 1931 without issuing a small size notes. There are nine notes reported with only the #1 note definitely a high grade. This note has well stamped signatures of F.D. Trekell and H.B. Cassidy. This was the last national bank chartered in Phoenix during the national banking period. From the Huntoon Collection.

Prescott, NB, P4851
There are nine notes reported from this bank, but the other eight are all second charter territorials. This is a specialist's dream with under 7,000 statehood sheets printed. Interestingly enough it has Napier-Thompson Treasury signatures. The bank officer's signatures are only legible if you know them, R.N. Fredrick or M. Goldwater and L.C. Derrick, cashier.

A very rare Maricopa County bank note that is one of only five state notes known to go with a single territorial and 11 small size notes. This appears to be the second best of the five notes.

Tucson, Consolidated NB, 4287
This is one of only three UNC notes that has ever appeared on this Tucson bank, and it is a beauty. The note has excellent centering and beautiful stamped signatures of T.N. McCairly and Leatherman. UNC Arizona large size notes are only ever available on Tucson and Winslow, and they have always been virtually impossible to locate, with sales occurring as irregular as a blue moon. If you want one of the best you will ever see from Arizona...get this one. Yes, there are 40 in the census but they don't look like this, and they are still expensive. From the Huntoon Collection.

Tucson, Arizona NB, P4440
This bank was chartered in 1890 and liquidated in 1928. Records indicate that three territorials and 11 state notes have survived. The note offered here is one of the three best state notes on the bank, but the overall appeal is more important than the grade, as it is fresh and original with excellent stamped signatures of Charles Solomon, President and H.J. Herman, Cashier. A quality note that deserves adequate consideration. From the Huntoon Collection.

Winslow, First NB, 12581
Here is a note of amazing quality from Navajo County. This is one of four notes on this bank that is listed as UNC (two others are listed as AU). I know that this is a beauty that would be an all-star selection for virtually any collection in America today. This lovely note has wispy blue signatures that are quite legible. A.C. Kaufman was president, but I find no way to identify the cashier, yet the signature is clear. Certainly one of the great Arizona notes available today. From the Huntoon Collection.

Yuma, First NB, P7591
Yuma received its name from the Yuman Indians. It has always been the best place to cross the Colorado River, and in 1873 it became the county seat. This bank was in business from 1905 to 1929, but no territorials are known. This note appears to me to be as good as any in the census. It has clear signatures of T.L. Law, President, and C.L. Latterson, Cashier. Notes from this community remain so very elusive. It's certainly been a long while since I have had one. From the Huntoon Collection.

This is absolutely one of the greatest Colorado notes of all time. In fact, in many respects this is one of the greatest notes of its type because it is serial #1 and a Gem CU. I had the pleasure of handling this cut sheet more than 30 years ago, and now I have the pleasure of offering the second note sold from the foursome. The Hickman Project records show there are only thirty #1 1882 datebacks in all grades and denominations; 16 are $5s and none are better. This bank is most famous for its black charter notes, but notes from this cut sheet have it all. There are only four other large size state notes and one small size note known from this bank.

At one point, trendy Georgetown was a separate part of the District, and later this bank changed its title to Washington.

As the story goes, the patriarch of the Driggs family was asked by the Mormon church to go forth and develop a new settlement, which they did in Teton County on the on the eastern edge of Idaho. They named it Driggs after their family. The bank was chartered in 1912 and closed in 1929. There are seven notes reported (all large, obviously), but only one has ever been sold publicly. Some of the Driggs family moved to Arizona and became major players in the Phoenix area until they were intertwined in the savings & loan debacle caused by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 that ended the family's reign in Western finance.

Artesia, Territory of New Mexico, State NB, W9468
New Mexico notes just don't get any rarer than this Artesia Territorial. It is the only surviving note from the State National Bank that was chartered in 1909 and liquidated in 1914, after issuing 1,715 sheets of Territorial and statehood notes. Statistics like those are why these notes are so rare. There were 1,700 sheets of Territorials and 15 sheets of statehood! This note was pen-signed by John Enfield, cashier, and he must have stamped the President's signature as well. The bottom right is slightly cut into the design, but it's difficult to worry much about such a minor flaw.

Saying that this was the largest bank in North Dakota would make you think this was a huge bank, but it wasn't at all. Most of the 28 large notes reported are $5 first charters, and then eleven $50 and $100 brownbacks and datebacks. There are a couple of very high grades, but this is a really nice, well-centered, problem-free circulated note that has excellent pen signatures. This is really as nice as a collector could ever hope for, and as good of a value as there is in the hobby (based on estimate).

East Liverpool, First NB, 2146
This is one of only 75 serial #1 aces to have survived the original series issue of first charter nationals. The charter number wasn't required on notes until the Act of June 20, 1874, and since $1 and $2 were stopped in 1879, fewer still of these would have survived redemption. It is essential to remember that bankers generally only saved the #1 note at the opening, not if ensuing changes caused a reissue. Note that this note has a plate date of May 25, 1874, under a month before the new act dictated that the charter number was required. This note has excellent signatures of D. Boyer and F. D. Kitelul.

Early original series notes have always been a favorite, especially like this bank that opened in December of 1862 and closed in February of 1877, making it one of our earilest banks. Somehow there have been seven notes recorded including this blue Treasury numbered Fine with excellent pen signatures. Graded Fine-12 by CGA.

Oklahoma City, State NB, 4862
A very rare note for both bank and state. This is the state brownback reported from this bank, with the others all being territorials. In addition, state brownbacks from Oklahoma are rare from any location; Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, right at the end of the brownback era. As a result, less than 10% of the known brownbacks from Oklahoma are state notes; by far the territorials are more common. This is a great note from many perspectives and should arouse some interest.

This small Westmoreland County bank went into receivership in 1930, and this example is the sole small note reported in the census. It is a tad washed out, and the title and charter numbers show minor retracing, but this may well be the only small size note extant from this bank, so bid accordingly.

A rare, one-bank town from Juniata County that has just under $1,000 in large outstanding. Only 6,938 sheets of $10-10-10-20s were ever printed.

This sheet appears Gem with the top and bottom selvage intact, but it does have three folds in the notes and the signatures are gone.

I'm a little surprised that they didn't have to use a smaller font to fit this second title on the small size notes. There are plenty of small notes reported, but only ten Type 2 $5s, and this one makes eleven. The bank only issued $5s in small size. There is a miniscule corner tip fold at the top left.

Notes from this town always make me, along with the rest of you I'm sure, think of Old West movies and gun fights. This note makes me wonder what it was used to purchase which, by the look of it, was far more than one item. The signatures practically jump off of the paper, and this note makes only seven brownbacks reported, with no grades about VF/XF. This would surely make a good conversation piece in someone's collection.

It changed its name to the Second National Bank in 1923. Fortunately, enough large are known to make these interesting notes available to collectors. Good stamped signatures.

This bank was chartered in 1905 and there was only $1,990 in large out in 1935, which makes the fact that this is new to the two large notes in the census much less surprising. Bold, purple signatures appear to have had some extra water in the ink well, but are still fairly legible.
