Clear Water or Gads Hill, MO - Clear Water Lumber Company $2 Post Note Oct. 15, 1873. PCGS Very Fine 30. The highest denomination observed by us from the Clear Water/Gads Hill \"thirty days after date\" post note series, and in a larger size. Printed uniface on white bond paper by R. P. Studley Co., St. Louis. As on the $1, a small portrait of Washington is at lower left and a denomination die is in the upper left corner. Titles and obligations are across with a white outlined TWO DOLLARS on a black cartouche in the center. Two engraved signatures are at the bottom. An 1873 date stamp is on the face, and 1874 and 1875 circular stamps are on the blank back. The blue stamp at the right on the face reads \"NOT issued for General Circulation...\" This also is from the Wismer notes purchased in July 1939. A vibrant note with modest handling. Broadly margined. This is a rare, interesting series and note, circulating during the 1874 James-Younger gang train robbery in Gads Hill. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
