Saratoga Springs, New York. $1 Original. Fr. 380a. The Commercial NB. Charter #1227. Very Fine 25.Unusually full margins and far better centering than usually seen. A scarce note on this popular location that had three note-issuing institutions, though none of them could be considered common. This title is one of the two more scarce ones which each have about a dozen known notes. While one or two examples among the seven aces listed could be marginally finer in hand, the Census data suggests that this is about as nice a note as one can hope for on this title. Lovely autographed signatures in blue ink. Saratoga Springs is, of course, one of the foremost watering spots for society in the summer, what with horse races and other attractions, and, generations ago, elegant grand hotels. The town is also remembered for its mineral springs and for the Saratoga Trunk (a large trunk used by traveling show people).
