St. Louis, MO - Exchange Bank of St. Louis, at___ $5 18__ MO-10 G38a. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63. Decades before the 1990 American Bank Note Company Sale at Christie's, Eric was fortunate to obtain seven color proofs from the bank in his significant 1939 acquisition from D.C. Wismer. Until the dispersal, these notes were virtually unknown. A beautifully tinted India paper proof on its original cardstock from Bald, Cousland & Co. Philada. & New York with their imprint at bottom left, and the patent date of June 2nd, 1857 (for the color tint used on issued notes), at bottom right. This plate D example has a lovely light orange lace tint. A darker color outlines the large white FIVE protector across the bottom. The view of Pilot Knob is featured under the arced title at the center, with mule-drawn wagons at the left and a train arriving at the right. First president of the Exchange Bank, and later U. S. Senator (succeeding Francis Blair, Jr.) Lewis V. Bogy's portrait is at lower left and Katherine Carrie Gibboney is at lower right. Noted as \"Hole Punch Cancelled\" and \"Mounted on Cardstock,\" as made. The tint is slightly subdued and the margins are tight. This proof's old pedigree is clearly evident compared with the examples that surfaced in the 1990 ABN Sale. A beautiful color-proof type. Ex: D. C. Wismer, July 1939;Eric P.
