Lot Number: 47
Description: Polka Dots Collection. The Ricker National Bank of Quincy, Illinois, Fr#404. Signed by George E. Ricker as Cashier and George J. Ricker as President. By 1893, this Quincy institution had become the largest bank in Illinois outside of Chicago, but the included index card has typewritten notes of ominous facts, partially reproduced here:

"The Quincy National Bank. Title changed in 1923 to "The Quincy-Ricker National Bank & Trust Company".

Placed in receivership Nov. 10th, 1930. Reason for failure, local depression." This scarce first-charter 1875 five offers good color and outstanding signatures on reasonably original paper.

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.
