Lot Title:
|
1929 $10.00. Smyrna, DE Charter# 2336 Ty. 1. F.
|
Description:
|
The Fruit Growers National Bank and Trust Company of Smyrna, Delaware. From the pages of "The Smyrna Times", November 29, 1933: "Thanksgiving Turkey Cheap". "It has been many years since Delaware turkeys have been so cheap. This year they have been within the reach of most everybody's pocketbook. Turkeys have been selling at retail down at Seaford as low as 12¢ and 15¢ per pound, and many going begging at these prices. In Smyrna and other localities they did get below 20¢ to 25¢ a pound, cheaper than they have been known for years." Just imagine how nice a Thanksgiving turkey this handsome and original Smyrna, DE ten could have bought in 1933!
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
