 Colony of New Hampshire. January 26, 1776. Six Dollars. No.1405. Portsmouth Issue Printed by Daniel Fowle. Payable on January 26, 1784. Signed by White and Smith. Printed on thinner, coarse stock. 73mm by 93mm. Standard face and back designs by Fowle with his imprint. Motto 'FOR DEFENCE OF AMERICAN LIBERTY' at the right. Concealed within the ornaments are the engraved names 'Meshech Weare'' and 'Levi Dearborn'. Quite attractive from the face. Very Fine. However, handling, a right side tear and some short edge splits. Well margined, very wide at the top, and the face is fairly bright. Pen endorsed on the back of the top edge, ''Mr. Haywood to exchange this'' and the bottom ''Mr. Cheever/Eastham''. A small speck of blue pen (or paint) on the back ornaments. Boyd's pencil code, ''ryxy'', on the back. A final opportunity to obtain a note from this Fowle printed Portsmouth imprint type. We remind bidders that it may be another generation or more before there are six notes from this Act in one sale.
