United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note The Farmers National Bank of Sussex New Jersey Fr 1801-1 CH 1221 PMG 30 EPQ

United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note - The Farmers National Bank of Sussex, New Jersey Charter 1221 (Fr. 1801-1)

The Farmers National Bank of Sussex, New Jersey, traces its charter to May 20 1865 when it opened in nearby Deckertown, a small agricultural hub in Sussex County. Chartered as number 1221, it succeeded the pre-existing Farmers Bank and quickly became the county’s central financial institution. The town adopted the name Sussex in 1903, prompting the bank’s title change the same year. For seventy years, the bank’s management remained a family affair: three generations of the Holbert and Margarum families served as cashiers and presidents, guiding the institution from the Civil War era through the Great Depression.

United States 1929 – 10 Dollars Type 1 National Bank Note – The First National Bank of Taylorville, Illinois Charter 3579 (Fr.1801-1)

This note’s importance lies not only in its scarcity but in what it reveals about the uncertain early days of the small-size National era-when technological progress, timing, and financial collapse intersected.

United States 1929 Type 2 uncut pair of 5 Dollars National Bank Notes from The Thomas County National Bank of Colby Kansas Charter 13076 with original 1944 W.D. Ferguson signed bank letter

United States 1929 - Uncut Pair of $5 Type 2 National Bank Notes with 1944 Bank Letter – The Thomas County National Bank of Colby, Kansas Charter 13076 W.D. Ferguson Provenance (Friedberg 1800-1)

Historically, the Thomas County National Bank (organized 1927, chartered May 12 1927) operated during the final years of the National Banking system. Its 1929 notes circulated locally until the mid-1940s, making Ferguson’s 1944 letter plausible and period-accurate. The combination of an uncut pair and original correspondence represents a complete archival survival-a window into both Depression-era banking and the personal relationships that defined small-town finance.

The photographic format also reveals aspects of the design that can be less immediately visible in the finished multitone note. Without the distraction of production color, the photographs emphasize the engraved architecture of the design, including the distribution of light and dark areas, the density of the guilloche fields, the modeling of the Artigas portrait, and the layered construction of the maritime reverse.
