Hugh Shull showed me this piece of Civil War scrip which does not have a city or state of issue. His guess was it was from Georgia or Tennessee. The distinctive vignette has three wheels under the first two cars and six wheels under the last car. Most scrip has only two or four wheels.
I looked through all of the scrip in the book I am preparing of Tennessee bank notes and scrip (600+ pieces) and found 3 notes with this type of train vignette all from the same city. I looked through the by David Marsh Georgia obsolete site (

)
but could not find any similar vignettes. Before I declare it from Tennessee would like to ask E-Sylum readers if they recognize this vignette from another city/state. Please let me know the city/state if you find another piece of scrip with this type of vignette.
