Description: 

 

USA, Connecticut, New Haven, Elm City Bank, paper 1, Oct. 20, 1855, serial 9228, extremely rare, PMG VF 20, finest and only example in PMG census.

Haxby-CT275C2. A very rare note in any form; a status only reinforced by Haxby stating, "Surviving Example Not Confirmed." The Elm City Bank of New Haven became the Second National Bank of New Haven in 1864; redemption of the Elm City Bank notes, in addition to usual loss or destruction, resulted in this important obsolete rarity. VF with bold signatures and serial, upper left corner missing, mounting remnants on the back. (PMG #2183636-004)
