Wow! What a morning! I was so excited to get to my job today. I had the opportunity to handle and photograph sheets of money printed in the early 1900’s. I had no idea that before the Great Depression, banks printed their own money. It was signed by the president of the bank and the cashier.
Check out these scissors! They were used to cut the money. They were at least 18 inches long!
Check this out: the piece of paper on the top is a check from 1890…and that’s a stamp in the top right corner. They just put a stamp on the check and put it in the mail!
Stacie, your photos turned out to be even more incredible than I had imagined! I love your perspective on these and they are going to look so great in the end result. Thank you so much for helping us out on such short notice!
