Quote: Nice, techwriter. What makes it "narrow"? Les's see if I can be brief and untechnical regarding the difference between Wide and Narrow. Easy as finding the back plate number! Plate numbers for Wide: 669 and lower Plate numbers for Narrow: 670 and greater So: Plate 600 would be Wide ============================== Plate 684 would be Narrow ============================== Also, you will notice the arrows pointing to the 'gap' or 'no gap' between the foliage and the swirl of the design. IF your eyes can see the space or lack thereof you won't need to worry about the plate numbers; however, I just look at the plate numbers.

Good question, good illustrations, and it's good that someone already figured out how to distinguish them by plate numbers!

Well, cannot take credit for the plate number recognition. I would refer to you pages 226-227 in Standard Guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money 10th Edition

Hands down, my favorite thread on CCF. Love seeing what everyone's up to and collecting. Bought this because it said Tampa.....I later researched the origination and found out Tampa was a magician in the 1920's - 1930's. His real name was Raymond Stanley Sugden, born November 3rd 1887. The four symbols on the front were all GOOD LUCK at the time. Three of them still are.

 If you don't already do so, this would be a good start to collecting Ephemera. I've enjoyed it because it doesn't cost much to purchase early Colonial American Paper.

Very cool. Yes, three of them still symbolize good luck. I never knew that the fourth on once did!

Love the back of that note, Steve. In 1933, $.25 was real dough!

Thanks for the explanation on the narrow plates, tech. Must be a rarity if it's on the slab. I see "wide" listed a lot at auctions for $5 notes. So many its and bits on this collecting business. I just won this lot at auction yesterday. It has such a clean look w/o the overprint.
