Lot 1661
1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii. Courtesy Autograph Note from the Second Sheet Printed. . Fr-2300. . KL-1609. PCGS Fine 15. Bearing serial number C00000013C, this remarkable note is first note from the second sheet of the C-C block, the only print run from which low serial nubmered notes were printed. It bears the courtesy autograph of Henry Morgenthau, Jr. the Secretary of the Treasury during the FDR administration. It is the lowest documented serial number known on a Hawaii note, and furthermore is unique as the only courtesy autograph on a WWII emergency issue note that we have ever seen. Although this note was obviously carried as a wallet piece by someone as a momento, it is a wonder note that is likely to be a "trophy" item in the next proud owner's collection.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 10,000.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection; ex Fred Bart.
