Spotlight

Xinjiang Cloth Money (Sinkiang) 1880-1924 - Textile Emergency Currency on Red Cloth, Seven-Note Reference Set

This Spotlight documents a rare, internally consistent set of seven textile emergency-currency notes from Xinjiang (historically spelled Sinkiang), spanning 1880 to 1924. They are not “oddities” or decorative folk pieces. They are operational money instruments made to work in a frontier economy where materials, transport, and administrative reach often failed to match the basic needs of trade, tax, provisioning, and settlement.

Colby, Kansas — 1929 uncut pair of $5 notes with original 1944 W.D. Ferguson thank‑you letter
Spotlight

“Signed to Say Thank You” — Colby, Kansas 1902–1929–1944 · W.D. Ferguson, National Currency & a Provenance Letter

The bank was organized on May 5, 1927 and chartered a week later on May 12, 1927. Its officers bridge the entire story: cashier N. Reimers (1927–1930) then C. A. Schiefen (1931–1935), with W. D. Ferguson as president throughout. By the numbers the bank was modest (resources rising from $663,449 in 1927 to a 1930 peak just over $1,034,699; circulation hovering near $50,000), yet its paper output—large and small size—captures the end of the National Banking era in one prairie town.
