Kahn, per House of Kahn & Brother, Redeemable at the Sutler's Store of 23rd Ala.[bama]...") ALABAMA. K. Kahn, per House of Kahn & Brother, Redeemable at the Sutler's Store of 23rd Ala.[bama] Regiment. Fifty Cents. Camden, Ala. 'Oct. 1, 1862.' Printed on brown rag paper, a bit frail. 117mm by 52mm. At left, in red a train vignette. Red protector '50' in the center. City, date, below 'HOUSE OF KAHN & BROTHER,/CAMDEN, ALA.,'. Fine text in four lines with Sutler designation '...Redeemable at the Sutler's Store of 23rd Ala. Regiment.' Signature at the lower right. No imprint. Keller AL-SA050. Rarity 7. Rosene 33-2; Rarity 7. Similar to Walter Jones Sale (CAA, September, 2001) lot 5570.
A very rare and well located Sutler note that should receive much attention. An interesting title that merits research. Perhaps this is a Jewish issuer and as such would be a significant Southern note. The Rarity 7 or nearly so and for such a note the condition is quite attractive. The Kahn signature has the same characteristics as the Jones example. Extra wide margins, particularly at the right. All there and Fine, some of the edges folded over and easy to straighten.
Ex Bruce A. Miner, September 19, 1963.
The 23rd was organized at Montgomery, Alabama in November, 1861. They were captured at Vicksburg, but were exchanged for and later fought in Tennessee.
