<B>Detroit, MI</B></I> - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 590 <B>The First NB</B></I> Ch. # (M)2707<BR>Despite the existence of the massive Grinnell collection of Michigan Nationals, which was assembled by a Detroit resident over a two decade period from the 1920's through the 1940's, no serial number one examples of any kind have ever been seen from this Detroit institution until the appearance of this specimen in tonight's sale. As the "A" plate note on the sheet, it is truly the "first" Date Back issued from here, and very likely wound up as a family keepsake. While it likely never saw any real circulation, there are a few storage folds acquired over the years, none of which detract one whit from the appeal of this bright and attractive specimen. <B>Extremely Fine,</B></I> a significant new discovery worthy of the finest of collections.
