Elizabeth, New Jersey. $10 Original. Fr. 412. The National State Bank. Charter #1436. Fine.This is the only First Charter $10 known from this prolific Union County bank which was chartered in 1865. The National State Bank of Elizabeth issued more than $4.5 million in National Currency through the end of the note issuing era in 1935. This example displays sharply printed inks with vividly detailed vignettes and bold machine printed signatures of bank officers Woodruff and Pruden. A great note for the New Jersey specialist and one that matches perfectly with the First Charter $5 from this bank also seen in tonights sale.
