Hard Times Era Satirical Note. Ca. 1837. Humbug Glory Bank. Six Cents in Mint Drops or Glory at Cost. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.Imprints at the left and bottom borders, outside of the design frame lines read, "SOLD WholeSale, Winslows 6 Little Green St near Maiden Lane NY" at left, and "Entered according to Act of Congress Aug 21st 1837, by H.L. Winslow in Clerks Office of Southern District New-York" below. <p>A classic type lampooning the banking crisis and Jacksonian politics of the Hard Times era. Amos Kendall, Reuben Whitney and Martin Van Buren are satirized here, along with most of Andrew Jacksons symbols from Veto to Hickory Leaves and his oft-quoted stubbornness or "Roman Firmness."<p>Dark inks are observed on this satirical note that comes printed on bright, moderately handled paper. The grading service mentions "Minor Restoration" on the back of the holder. It seems to be limited in scope and involving a few small edge splits. Overall very appealing and quite historic.
