Hokiefan's Collection Of Arkansas Obsoletes, Scrip And National Bank Notes

A couple of pickups at tonight's Heritage auction. First is another Rothert 234-25, but with plate letter B. Rothert mentions this note had plates C,D and E, but this is definitely the same type. I now have plates B, C and D, so I'll be keeping my eye out for a plate E version!


The next is a $5 1902PB note from Mansfield, Arkansas. This charter issued only $5 1902PB and 1929 Ty1/Ty2 notes. There are 12 large size notes in the census, with this being the 2nd highest grade listed. The signatures are very faint but legible as being cashier W.L. Yowell and president I.H. Nakdimen. I included a pic of an enhanced zoom of the signatures which make it a bit easier to see them.




As I've discussed before, Iser H. Nakdimen was president of 8 issuing charters; 4 in Oklahoma and 4 in Arkansas. The 4 charters in Arkansas issued notes under 7 different titles. I now have 7 notes with his signature as president, 3 large and 4 small, with representatives from all 4 charters and 5 of the 7 titles. One of the two missing titles has no notes in the census, and the other only has 2, so I may be about done!
