Canfield as President, with these two serving together from 1897 until 1915. A beautiful example certain to see spirited bidding today. Estimated Value $2,500 - UP The Santa Barbara Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,600
Lot 68		$5 National Bank Note. Brooks NB of Torrington, CT. Ch. 5231. Fr. 477. PMG Very Fine 20.

Lot 70		$10 National Bank Note. Farmers and Mechanics NB of Hartford, CT. Ch. 1321. Fr. 482. PMG Fine 12. Edge Damage.

Lot 72		$20 National Bank Note. Orange NB, Orange, MA. Ch. 2255. Fr. 501. PMG Fine 12. The only National bank to serve Orange was chartered in May 1875 and lasted the entire National Banking era.

Chartered in August 1879, this bank also would only issue Large size notes as it would be liquidated on the last day of 1927.

Hitchcock as Cashier and C. Fayette Smith as President. A pleasing example. Estimated Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 74		1882 $100 National Bank Note. NB of Commerce in, New York, NY. Ch. 733. Fr. 520. PMG Very Fine 25. While most consider this a common bank, this denomination and note are the exact opposite. This is the ONLY $100 Brown Back known from this long serving institution. A great mid-grade note with stamped signatures that was last seen in a 2007 auction, and likely to not be seen again for quite few years once it takes its place in a new collection this evening. Estimated Value $5,000 - UP The Santa Barbara Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $11,400
Lot 75		$5 National Bank Note. First NB of Hartford, CT. Ch. 121. Fr. 587. PMG About Unc 55. Chartered in November of 1863, the First NB lasted throughout the entire National Banking era, issuing just over $17 million in notes during that time. This is by far the finest of the five known Red Seals on the bank as well as any large size notes currently known from this institution. A beautiful survivor that looks like it was just printed. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
