 UNIDENTIFIED. F. Hays, Sutler. 10 Cents. Printed in black on green cardboard. 43mm by 27mm. Double line frame with one wider than the other, style used on New York printed chits for 152nd, 153rd and other northeastern chits. Top center '10 Cents.' and below F. HAYS, Sutler.' Most likely New York, but not in the Keller index. Signed on the back. Rather worn with soiling. Very Good; UNIDENTIFIED. Sutler's Ticket. Good for 25 Cents. Black text on mustard yellow cardboard. Additional red overprint at upper left '5'. Double frame similar to many chits from New York. 'SUTLER'S TICKET' on top, 'GOOD FOR/25 CENTS'. The red '5' is a mystery, a ''double denomination'' or an error outright. Wear and a little dark at the right. Fine. Intriguing pair for the diligent. 2 pieces.
