Advertising notes of the 19th and early 20th century

Greetings everyone,
 After the Civil War there was alot of Confederate currency available. Businessmen were printing on the back of the notes and advertising there businesses. When the Confederate currency ran out they printed their own currency. Here are a few examples from the 50.00 note of the late 1860s to 1931

More of S.C. Uphams counterfeits

Greetings everyone,
 Counterfeit Confederate currency is probably one of my most extensive collections...mainly counterfeits from S.C.Upham. Here are some examples of his work ranging from 5 cent notes to 20.00 notes.All of these have gone thru the war with the tag lines cut off.

More on counterfeit civil war currency

Greetings everyone,
 Back in April of last year, I put up a counterfeit 20.00 that was printed by S.C. Upham the counterfeiter from Philadelphia. Since then I acquired quite a few of his counterfeits. On February 24th 1862, The Philadelphia Inquirer printed on the front page a $5.00 confederate note. Most people in the North never seen any examples of Confederate currency. The paper sold out in minutes. S.C Upham
found a way to make money by printing confederate currency. The note you see on the front page was the first of many that he printed and sold. In the beginning he had a tag line on the bottom of the note stating that this is a facsimile along with his address. Well people just cut that line off and spent the money. The note you see here has the tag line still there.

A 25 cent investment

Greetings everyone,
  Havent had much to put up lately...taking care of other things, so the creativity is somewhat down at this time. But I did buy these 3 little guys at a garage sale for 25 cents still in their package, thought that was quite the deal. Nasty little guys...think of all the home improvements you could do with those hammers.
