Rare 1759 Pennsylvania 90-Day Promissory Note

[ translate ]

Colonial America
Extremely Rare 1759 Pennsylvania Promissory Fiscal Note
June 1, 1759-Dated French and Indian War Period, Colonial Pennsylvania Partly-Printed Document Signed, "Samuel Sanders his mark," Private Issue Promissory Note Payable in "Pennsylvania Currency," Complete with Wax Seal, Very Fine.
A very rare Pennsylvania issued fiscal item of which we have not seen another. This Promisary Note is 1 page, measures 4" x 7.5" with unusual large typeset text in bold black on "Crown" watermarked laid period paper, with the large full central watermark present. This is a 90-Day Promissory Note, drawn by a "Samuel Sanders," who has Signed by his Mark, to a William Ray of Cumberland County. This Note is made payable in "Pennsylvania Currency" and witnessed by a Roger Walton. There is a trivial short marginal edge split and has a small piece of paper folded back and affixed to the Red Wax Seal, apparently making this transaction official. Here, Ray was evidently a regular Lender of money, as having this form Partly- Printed would indicate. Cumberland County is in central Pennsylvania, and was quite far in distance from main Philadelphia fiancial center and loan offices. Endorsed on the blank reverse, in full: "Saml. Sanders 11-16-11.1/2" (Amount paid).
KEYWORDS:
Colonial Currency, Paper Money, Early Paper Money of America, Connecticut Currency, Counterfeit Currency, Colonial America, Printing Paper Money, Revolutionary War, George Washington, Continental Congress, Independence Hall, Fiat Currency, Currency Printing
