$2 Newfoundland Merchant Scrip, 1899  Grand River Pulp & Lumber Co , VF-EF
Newfoundland "Grand River Pulp & Lumber Co.", Note of Two Dollars. Listed in Charlton "Canadian Merchant Scrip (2007)" as #NL-30-10-04, though without photographs, and noted as never having been seen by the author;, R.J Graham. In fact, the name of the company is incorrectly listed as "Grand River Pulp & Paper Co., Limited". The signatures, printed, and imprint are as catalogued, as is the central vignette. The note are described as undated, but the $2 is stamped "99", clearly refering to the year 1899, the colour, listed as unknown, is black for the $2 below the vignette. The back, described as "presumed to be plain" is indeed so. The cataloguer estimates the value in VG condition as $1200. This note is choice VF-EF.
