Uncut Strip of Three
Crisp Uncirculated!
This uncut strip of three notes from the Farmers Bank of Bucks County, located in Hulmeville, Pennsylvania, offers a rare and visually compelling glimpse into early American banking just after the War of 1812. Hulmeville, "9 miles from Trenton", was a modest but active financial center in Bucks County, and its bank issued a range of notes to meet local commercial needs.
The strip includes a $50, a $100, and a non-denominated post note, circa 1814. These notes are cataloged in Haxby as G14, G16, and UNL, and in Hoober as 164-7, 164-8, and UNL, reflecting their rarity and the absence of full documentation for the post note. Each note features distinct vignettes: the $50 shows a man leading a horse near a mill, the $100 depicts a seated allegorical figure labeled “Pennsylvania,” and the post note is blank, intended for flexible use in short-term lending.
Printed on high-quality paper with crisp impressions, this Crisp Uncirculated strip is especially desirable for collectors due to its completeness, condition, and historical context. It exemplifies the artistry and utility of early 19th-century American currency, issued during a time of expanding frontier commerce and evolving financial infrastructure.
Scarce this nice!
