My Westbury note. Wealthiest part of Long Island perhaps? Interesting description from Heritage Auctions-

"An excessively rare Nassau County note from one of the highest income areas in the New York metropolitan area during the era in which it was issued. Wheatley Hills was smack dab in the epicenter of Long Island's Gold Coast, which, in the "Jay Gatsby era" that this note was issued, was home to vast estates, opulent parties, and a gilded era lifestyle which ended with a bang in the stock market crash of 1929."

    Finally got around to digging this out of the SDB and scanning it. Thought you would enjoy it.
