 Bank of Ocean County. $1.00. No plate letter. Tom's River, NJ. 1860's. India paper Face Proof by American Bank Note Co. New York. The issued notes used green security backs. Hunting dogs chasing an elk (as used on the Egg Harbor notes also). At the lower left a dog on a safe in an oval and at the lower right a woman seated at a sowing machine. Haxby NJ-515 G2a. The issued notes used green security backs. Another superbly styled ABNCo. imprint proof note from the Ford Collection. Full ABN imprinted proofs are a rare occurrence as the 1990 Archive Sale did not include them. Some hinge remnants on the verso and some resulting, very trivial thins. Close to Very Choice. Just lovely.
