QUERY: M. DAVID AND HULMEVILLE BANKNOTES

For research projects I am seeking information on Moritz David, also known as M. David and, in advertising, Mauritius David. He joined the ANA in 1899, donated a Washington medal of the Hall of Fame of Great Americans, by Anton Scharff, to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1900, launched Antiques magazine in January 1900 (it also included information on coins) which lasted for two issues, was multi-lingual, and, important to my interests, sold an 1822 half eagle to Virgil Brand. He seems to be largely undiscovered by modern-day historians. His letterhead imprint is attached. I welcome any and all information anyone can provide concerning him.

For another project I would like to obtain one or more signed and issued notes from the Farmers Bank of Bucks County (Pennsylvania) imprinted Hulmeville in the late 1810s and Bristol later. I would like notes from 1816 to 1821 only. Can someone help?

In other news, the Guide Book of Civil War Tokens, released in a print run of 5,000 copies by Whitman last autumn, sold out, the second printing is nearly so, and revisions and updated prices (by Steve Hayden) are now being assembled for a second edition, which will also include sutler tokens.

Best wishes,
