<B>Toronto, ONT- The Canadian Bank of Commerce</B></I> $100 Jan. 2, 1917 Ch. 75-16-02-12<BR> Like many of the Canadian notes from the Ameen collection, this piece can trace its pedigree back to the William P. Donlon sale of the Thomas F. Morris II Estate. Thomas F. Morris II was the son of Thomas F. Morris, Sr., the Chief of the Engraving Division of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing from 1893 until his death in 1898. In that capacity Morris Sr. supervised the preparation and production of the Educational Series notes. His son was a well known collector who became a Charter Member of the Society of Paper Money Collectors and served as President of the New York Numismatic Club. The younger Morris was one of the first Americans to seriously collect Canadian paper money, and a fair number of his notes grace this catalogue. This example was lot 674 in his November, 1974 sale. <B>Fine-Very Fine.</B></I><BR><I>From The John Ameen Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
