 Chemical Bank. $1.00-$1.00-$1.00-$1.00. New York. Late 1830's-early 1840's. Proof Sheet printed directly on wide margin card by Durand & Compy., New York. Each note has an angel flying with eagle, flanked on each side by large '1'. Each end with an identical panel with infant portrait. Haxby NY-1505-G6(4). A deep impression, inset well amidst the well margined card stock. Choice. Some minor flecks of foxing, diagnostic to proofs of this bank. Penciled 'Don't Know' on the verso center.
