Lot 5190		1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Barton, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Extremely Fine 40.This is the finest known small size Barton note, bar none. In the last several years, a few of these have surfaced raising the current census to 17 notes.

Lot 5203		Fr-1800-2. 1929, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-1800-2. . KL-1171. PCGS Very Fine 25 PPQ.A nice example with original embossing evident, this bank was a prolific issuer, but still is much less common than Charter 1519. Estimated Value $350 - 400.

Lot 5204		Fr-1800-1. 1929, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-1800-1. . KL-1170. PCGS Very Fine 20.

Lot 5205		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Lonaconing, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Good 8.With only 8 notes reported, even this lower-grade note is rare. A reoccuring theme throughout the Lehmann collection, this sale represents the first time that this extensive a collection of Allegany and Garrett County notes has ever been auctioned. We suggest an aggressive bid to take this note home. Remember, in 15 years of collecting this region, this is the finest example Rob could get hold of. That alone should tell you something! Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5206		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Friendsville, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Fine 12.Friendsville is a beautiful hamlet located in the western part of Garrett County on the Youghiogheny River. A one bank town, their notes have always been both desirable and elusive. Like most of the 10 in the census, this one is moderately circulated. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,300. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5207		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Grantsville, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 20.Since large size notes are almost non-existant on this bank, a small size becomes a nice alternative. Still very rare, with only 8 notes reported, this note compared to the others is high-grade. Typical of much of Western Maryland, Grantsville was a agricultural and mining community where workers were prone to spending their notes rather than saving them. Of course, this is a one bank town. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5208		Fr-1801-2. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Peoples NB of Hancock, MD. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS Very Fine 25. This example of this Washington County "border town" note is very pleasing to the eye. With only 7 notes in the census, it is also rare. We can't remember ever seeing 2 of this bank in the same sale. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5209		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Mount Savage, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 25 PPQ. There are few neater names of any bank in Maryland than Mount Savage. Kelly shows 12 notes, although this newly reported example is not one of them. This note is choicer than most, and although only a VF, it still one of the finer known. Again, this is a scarce one bank town. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5210		Fr-1801-2. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Mount Savage, MD. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS Very Fine 20.There were almost 6 times as many Type I $10's issued by this bank as there were Type II's. This might account for why the Type II's are so infrequently encountered. A nice note in all respects, this is also just plain "rare". These Mount Savage small sizes combined with their large counterparts in this sale represent the most extensive group of this bank ever assembled. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5211		Fr-1801-2. 1929, Attached Pair, $10 National Bank Note, Hoblitzell NB of Hyndman, PA. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS card with comments. PCGS does not yet offer a sealed holder for uncut pairs. Therefore, this pair is on a PCGS card with hand written comments on the back-side. "Uncut pair XF-AU with a couple of sheet folds. Low serial #s (800-1200)". We feel that these comments pretty well summarize this rare serial number 7 & 8 pair. We also feel pretty confident in calling this pair unique. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 5212		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Barton, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Fine 15.This note, grade-wise is typical, if not slightly above average, of what Barton notes usually look like. Well circulated, most of these wound up with the coal miners that populated this Georges Creek town. A very small, one-bank town, it is somewhat of a wonder that 17 of these small size notes survived. Estimated Value $850 - 1,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5213		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Midland, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Fine 15. Another tough one bank town, only 9 of these notes have been counted in the census. Estimated Value $800 - 1,100. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5214		Fr-1801-2. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Frostburg NB Frostburg, MD. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ. A scarce late-issuing bank, Frostburg National, as they were called, issued Type II's only. This note is typical of the grade of most of the survivors. Estimated Value $600 - 800. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5215		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Citizens NB Frostburg, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 25.Another nice example from this bank that reports only 12 small size notes, it is interesting to note that 25% of that population is represented here in this sale. Estimated Value $500 - 700. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 5216		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ.This is a nice upper-grade circulated example of this early chartered Cumberland bank. Estimated Value $400 - 600. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5217		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Citizens NB Westernport, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 20. Much more available than it's large size counterpart, Westernport small notes still always garner interest. The present note is a nice, problem-free VF. Estimated Value $400 - 500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5218		Fr-1801-2. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, NB of Keyser, WV. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS Very Fine 25. Although there are 21 small notes reported, Type II's are scarce. This one's grade also appears above average. Situated on the West Virginia side of the Potomac River, Keyser is still an active town today. Estimated Value $400 - 500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $345
Lot 5219		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Garrett NB of Oakland, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 30. Not to be confused with the later chartered Garrett National Bank "in" Oakland, this bank was a mainstay of the city until they went into recievership in 1933. 19 small notes are reported, this one is maybe nicer than average. Estimated Value $350 - 450. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5220		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, Hoblitzell NB of Hyndman, PA. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Very Fine 20. The proliferation of Hyndman notes in this sale should not infer that these notes are common; quite the contrary! There is probably a fair percentage of all of the known notes on this bank in this one collection. And that's understandable, given Hyndman's proximity to Cumberland, MD. The present note is a pleasing circ. With 19 known notes in the census, these small size are no where near as scarce as their large counterparts. But, then again, they are quite a bit more affordable too. Estimated Value $350 - 450. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 5221		Fr-1801-2. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, SNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-1801-2. . KL-1244. PCGS Very Choice New 64 PPQ.This is one of the finest small size notes in the census. The Second National was Cumberalnd's most proficient issuer, but this note is certainly still a beauty. Estimated Value $300 - 400. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $345
Lot 5222		Fr-1801-1. 1929, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Oakland, MD. . Fr-1801-1. . KL-1243. PCGS Fine 15.A Type II survivor from a census of 20 notes, this small Oakland is an attractive circulated note. Estimated Value $250 - 350. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5223		Fr-1802-2. 1929, Serial #1 $20 National Bank Note, Hoblitzell NB of Hyndman, PA. . Fr-1802-2. . KL-1318. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 PPQ. As this is a Type II note, it is a true #1. Furthermore, only 100 Type II $20's were ever printed on this bank, adding to this note's desirability. A couple of light folds are what limits the grade on this note, which at arm's length, appears uncirculated. This is one of the more important small size notes in the Rob Lehmann collection and will be a prize for it's new owner. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,559
Lot 5224		1929, $20 National Bank Note. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. Ohio. Columbus. The Ohio NB. Charter #5065. A fresh, crisp Gem note that is all but perfect, as though the collector who consigned it was standing next to the press operator who removed the sheet from the equipment and cut the sheet into perfectly centered notes right there before him! PMG graded Superb Gem Uncirculated 69. Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,370
Lot 5225		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Friendsville, MD. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Very Fine 30 PPQ.This note although not high-grade is still one of the finest survivors from this scarce one-bank town. Given that only 120 sheets of small $20's were produced, this note was one of the last of that run. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5226		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Mount Savage, MD. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Very Fine 30.This is a really nice Mount Savage small size. First, it's a $20 which is much tougher than the $10. Secondly, it has a little grade going for it, which is not the norm. This famous "iron works" town seems to have spent their hard-earned money, perhaps resulting in most of the lower grade National Bank note survivors. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5227		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Midland, MD. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Apparent Fine 12.This Georges Creek town is situated between Frostburg and Lonaconing. Coal mining was the predominant industry, which may account for why all of their notes appear to have been spent rather than saved. $20's are the scarcest of the denominations printed. PCGS notes some ink stains, although they really are minor. Estimated Value $800 - 1,100. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5228		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Kitzmillerville, MD. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Fine-15. Once for the fun of it, Rob Lehmann took the 70 minute journey southwest to what is now Kitzmiller, MD just to see what it was. What he found was little more than an old street block surrounded by many abandoned buildings. Like a wild-west town, it is hard to imagine that this was once a flourishing community. Today, all notes from this town are rare. And if what's left of the town is any indication, it is doubtful that any new survivors are going to surface. This is a typical well-circulated fine note. There are a total of 10 reported icluding the present specimen. Estimated Value $700 - 1,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $661
Lot 5229		1929, $20 National Bank Note. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317.

PCGS Very Fine 20.Out of the three denominations from this bank represenetd in the Rob Lehmann collection, this $20 is definitely the scarcest.

Lot 5232		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Frostburg, MD. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Very Fine. This is an overall nice, problem-free example of this better Allegany County bank. Estimated Value $500 - 700. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5233		Fr-1802-1. 1929, $20 National Bank Note, FNB Napa, CA. . Fr-1802-1. . KL-1317. PCGS Choice New 63 PPQ.
