Shelburn, Sutler [to the] Camp Fourth Brigade N.[orth] C. [arolina] T.[roops]....") NORTH CAROLINA. W. Shelburn, Sutler [to the] Camp Fourth Brigade N.[orth] C. [arolina] T.[roops]. Fifty Cents. 'June, 1863'. Printed on brown rag paper. 122mm by 62mm. Ornate and reversed end panels with dual line top frame lines. At the top center, a linear ''swirl'' flanked by solid '50' counters. In Gothic across the top center 'Camp Fourth Brigade N.C.T.', date below. Below large 'FIFTY CENTS' and fine text underneath 'This Note will be received for goods or redeemed in current/funds in like sums on presentation'. Space for the 'Sutler' signature below. No imprint. Keller NC-SA050. Rarity 7.
Fully signed and issued, though the signature is a trifle weak. A very rare sutler issue from a well collected state for all obsolete notes. Amazingly, the Ford Collection has two examples of this rarity. After obtaining this Criswell Collection note in 1977. Mr. Ford discovered a second note along with the two Mississippi Sutler notes in the collection with the small pencil ''Barrows'' mark on the back corner. This ex Criswell Collection example has much eye appeal to it with the folds and handling well concealed. A small central juncture hole is nearly less than trivial. Fine to Very Fine. A wonderful example.
Ex Grover Criswell Collection (Kagin's ANA 86th Convention Sale, August 23-28 1977, lot 4377).
The Fourth Brigade under General Scales was composed of the 13th, 16th, 22nd, 34th, and 38th North Carolina Regiments. They were part of Pender's Division, 3rd Army Corp, Army of Northern Virginia and they fought at Gettysburg July 1-3, 1863.
