L. G. KAUFMAN'S BANKNOTE SIGNATUREFrom Harvey Stack's article on the L.G. Kaufman “Dollars of the World" exhibit: "The collection was formed by L.G. Kaufman, a banker of great renown at the time, and was exhibited first in New York City and Marquette, Michigan. He was president of the Chatham Phoenix National Bank and Trust Company, and collectors of U.S. currency can note his signature on National Bank Notes. The “Dollars of the World” collection was exhibited all over the United States as an educational display, and hundreds of thousands of people had the opportunity to see it before it was consigned by the Marquette Bank for auction by Stack’s."
Leon Saryan writes: I found Harvey's sketch of L. G. Kaufman interesting. I own fewer than five National Bank Notes, but one of them is a $10 large size note from the Chatham Phenix National Bank and Trust Company of New York, with Kaufman's large signature (so large that I can see traces also at the top of the note. Note the spelling of the bank name. I'll have to keep the information about the signer with my note.
Thanks! Now THAT'S a real "John Hancock" - no one should have any trouble reading Kaufman's signature.
