Here is an ORIGINAL 1864 $30 Civil War Confederate bond interest receipt. During that time, whenever someone bought a bond to support the war effort, they would receive a large bond (in this case, a $1000 bond) with 60 small interest bearing receipts attached to it. Every 6 months, a receipt would be removed from the bond and redeemed for the amount specified (so the due date on the bond you received might vary from the one pictured). These receipts are hand-numbered, measure approx. 3" x 1-1/2" and have the printed signature of Robert Tyler, the son of John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States. Printed by the Archer printing company of Richmond, Virginia. A very interesting piece of history at a very affordable price!
Please note: These bonds are in very nice presentable condition for their age (over 150 years old!), but most have some minor bends, wrinkles or other tiny imperfections which are typical for these bonds or any other paper this old. Absolutely no tears or other major faults.
Also included is a genuine U.S. postage stamp, issued in 1937, featuring Confederate Generals Robert E Lee & Stonewall Jackson, in mint condition. Both items will be sent in an archival-quality protective display card.
