What is it????

DepressionscripGuy

Ok, so I can usually identify just about any money and figure out something then start searching... but this one has be stumped. I can't find it anywhere or something similar. So what is it? I'm also told it's not paper, it's printed on some sort of hard cardstock or thin cardboard. You can kind of see that in the top edge of the picture....



Also, it's about 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/4 inches if that helps too.

It looks like a Naramore card. Here's an ebay listing of what is said to be a complete set. Also if you search the forum there should be at least one discussion of these, as I recall.



Cheers!

a Naramore card... now that's a new one on me. I've never heard of that one before. Thanks once again for the info. Someone needs to put up some mystery depression scrip so I can repay the forum...

No problem, your "repayment" can be sent to me for safekeeping. LOL

mine... not even sure where I put it

Narramores must use very similar chemicals to the photographic counterfeits of obsoletes of the late 1850s-60s. They have all faded considerably, some severely so. I'll bet that they looked sharper and much better when they were first made.

OK Maybe not depression scrip but I still have no idea what this little guy is next to the 10cent fractional. It's not mine, but I saw it on ebay a while ago. The pair did not sell for much.

I think it is the same type of thing that is in the OP... Narramore?

STLNATS ebay link shows all 18 pieces. The $10 shows up in the 2nd pic.

Agreed, after looking at tons of pictures of these, it's another Naramore card just like I posted originally.
