EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLETE CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY PRESENTATION ALBUM. A WONDERFUL ARTIFACT OF THE ERA OF SECURITY ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.

Security printers' presentation albums were specially made for a variety of people, generally potential customers and dignitaries. Many have been broken by dealers for the value of the individual proofs; therefore, intact albums such as the volume offered here are rare.
