Our dynamic global business system has generated millions of tangible
historic relics of our business and financial past. Many of these
items were kept for a certain amount of time by the interested company
or government and then were usually disposed of, destroyed or placed in
some government or institutionally controlled archive never to see the
light of day again. Something that may have been very common at one
time has now become extremely scarce if not unique. Dr.
Robert Schwartz, President of Archives International, "I have
been working on this portion of the American Bank Note Archives for
close to three years. It does not seem possible that there could be any
surprises left, but each day reveals more and more historic and
exciting pieces of our business and financial past that fortunately have
been preserved in some format in the archives of American Bank Note
Company. Again, we are honored and thrilled to be able to
offer to the collecting community an opportunity to share in the
excitement and discovery of further American Bank Note material from
these fabled archives."
