St. Louis, MO - Teller of the Butchers' and Drovers' Bank of St. Louis $5 Payable before August 1, 1880. PCGS Very Fine 35. This note is part of an unusual series of notes that were technically certificates of deposit, which did not pay interest, and were payable on or before the specified date only for debts due the Butchers and Drovers Bank. Printed on white bond paper by the St. Louis Bank Note Co. with their imprint at the base. Each denomination has a common style, but a different color. This $5 is black on white. Eads Bridge in St. Louis is prominently featured at top center with a busy Mississippi River scene below. The bridge, a technological marvel, opened to great acclaim on July 4, 1874. The left end shows standing Commerce at the left end, and the right features a cow's head (adapted from the National Bank Note Co.) with counter above. Signed by the teller and with the engraved president's signature. An available and interesting type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
