St. Louis, MO - Store of Jacob Vogel 50 Cents Undated (ca. 1850s). PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. An undated and unusually styled remainder note (or \"check\" as printed on the back) that is possibly unique. The style suggests this was printed in the late 1850s, just before the war. The note is an unsigned blank for the Store of Jacob Vogel, a member of a merchants association who redeemed one another's notes; their names are listed on the back. Printed on white bond paper by A. McClean lith. St. Louis. A train is featured at top center, and the left end shows standing Liberty. At upper right is \"Good for\" and a \"50\" die. The obligation is across as \"payable in Merchandise....or Bankable Funds.\" One signature line is at lower right. The red printed back has a perpendicular list of twelve merchants who would redeem \"This Check.\" Noted with \"Splits, Tears, and Tape Repairs; Minor Edge Damage.\" Despite some extensive back repairs, this faces up well. A distinctive type and a great rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
