This sub-forum has been languishing, so it's time to add some new images. Here are a few more specimens!

The last one is the highest printed denomination bond I have in my collection. Probably only one of these bonds was ever issued, so this specimen is the closest we will get.

I picked up a couple more yesterday, including one from Quayle & Son, a very small New York banknote printer which did most of their work in the 1930s before being bought by U.S. Bank Note Corp.

The other is another specimen from Hamilton Bank Note Co., but this one has punch lettering.

Taking dirt naps or enjoying their retirement.

Kidding aside, it is a shame, really. One could only hope they pass on the skills and they get used for something, somewhere.

The Bureau of Engraving & Printing still employs a few engravers, but their skills are nothing like those of the BEP engravers in the Gilded Age. There are also some who work for the British American Bank Note Co. in Ottawa, Canada, and quite a few in Europe.

Here's another specimen that arrived just before Christmas that I just got around to scanning.

This one arrived the other day. It's not marked specimen but that's what it is. This is a generic type certificate that had the company name added later. I picked it up because it was printed by the New York Bank Note Company, which is one I didn't have. Also I liked the cow.
