I finally found an affordable example of a stock I've been chasing for a while -- the Stroudsburg (PA) Bank. This has so much beautiful engraving, it's quite a showpiece.

It occurs to me that a lot of national bank notes and obsolete currency have counterpart stocks and bonds. I can post some of my other bank stocks and maybe there are forum members who can post currency issued by these banks.

No match-ups, yet? I'll post a few more banks.

I picked up a wonderful stock certificate recently that features an astounding eight vignettes! Between this one and the Stroudsburg Bank, it's tough to pick a favorite.

Trust companies are also part of the banking industry. I'm not sure how they differ from banks -- if anyone can enlighten me, I'd like to know.

I picked up several Maine bank stock some time ago, but forgot to post them. This first one was interesting because I was able to find a National Bank Note that matched both the bank title *and* the signatures! The currency is not mine, just shown here for comparison.

Here's another national bank stock I recently picked up. In theory, the signatures might match those on a national bank note from this charter, but I haven't done any digging.
