(St. Louis, MO) - Banking House of Page & Bacon, St. Louis, Missouri - Payable at the Banking House of Flagg & Savage, Quincy, Ill. $3 Certificate of Deposit 185_. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63 Apparent. The $3 proof from this Flagg & Savage-payable certificate of deposit series is especially elegant. Like all four denominations, an India paper proof printed by Danforth, Bald & Co., Philada. & New-York. The central vignette, below the title, is chock full of thematic elements. In the foreground, an allegorical female sits on a barrel with one foot on a millstone, an apt symbol of Daniel Page's flour mill and bakery business. The background shows a ship, train, and factory buildings. The lovely lady admiring rose blooms at left appears to be purely ornamental and is the first we have seen used on a note. Henry D. Bacon's portrait is at lower right, as on the previous two notes. Denomination dies are at lower left and upper right, and a large protector is across at the bottom. \"Hole Punch Cancelled,\" as made, and noted only with some ex: Wismer pedigree \"Hinges on Back.\" The finest of the four from Page & Bacon in this sale. This important two-state tie note proof stands on its excellent craftsmanship and artistic merits. An extreme rarity with only one other proof known to us from the former ABN Archive sale sheet. Ex: D. C. Wismer, July 1939;Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
