This is an original 1873 promissory note for $300 from Carey, Ohio, issued by J.R. Warnes to Henry Getter. The note was payable at Peoples Bank with 8% interest and was printed by Payne, Holden & Herr of Dayton, Ohio on a form copyrighted in 1869. The document shows expected age toning, fold lines, and clear, legible handwriting on both the front and back. Notations on the reverse indicate a partial payment was made in 1875 before the note was filed in court and a judgment was entered, making this a fascinating piece of 19th-century financial and legal history.
