Retains its original engraved deposit stub

Intact 19th-century certificate of deposit from the Bank of Wilmington and Brandywine in Wilmington, Delaware. The certificate was engraved by Danforth, Bald. & Co. and includes two patriotic vignettes: an American sailor in uniform, arm resting on a capstan, and a merchant ship in full-sail, the Flag of the United States unfurled. Interestingly, it retains its original engraved stub for recording the details of the certificate’s transaction. An excellent example.
