Cincinnati, OH - Lot of 3 Commercial Bank of Cincinnati Durand, Perkins & Co. Series Notes Associated with the Cincinnati Commercial Agency in St. Louis. This is an interesting collection of three notes that Eric collected in conjunction with his Missouri tie notes. The Cincinnati Commercial Agency opened a branch in St. Louis in 1836 and may have redeemed notes from the bank and others from Ohio. The bank withdrew from St. Louis in 1837 when the Bank of the State of Missouri was chartered, and sold their buildings to the State, which used them as its banking headquarters (\"The Economy of Nineteenth-Century St. Louis,\" Primm, St. Louis, the Fourth City pp 109-110). According to Wendell Wolka in his reference on Ohio, the Commercial Bank of Cincinnati was originally chartered in 1829 and opened in 1831. It continued under this charter until 1843. In 1845, it became one of Ohio's Independent Banks and continued in business until it became the Commercial National Bank of Cincinnati (Charter 1185) in 1865. These earlier notes circulated heavily and are not encountered much finer. All have Durand, Perkins & Co. imprints. $1 Jan. 4, 1838 OH-50 G2, Wolka 0425-03. PCGS Good 4.
