This was Winona's earliest national bank, chartered in 1864 and closed in 1884, either from expiration of charter or as the predecessor to the National Bank of Winona, which was chartered in 1884 and took this title in 1886. I'm not sure, but it's a good bet. There were seven national banks chartered in Winona between 1864 and 1935, making it a big influence on Minnesota banking at the time. This is the only note ever sold on this bank, and in 1999 it realized $13,200 in fierce competition. It should see plenty this time around as well.
