Unique archive of over 150 autographs of signers of the paper money of the United States, highlighted by a number of earlier signatures and letters plus a quantity of $1 and $2 bills signed by United States Treasurers and Secretaries of the Treasury. The archive effectively represents the whole history of the financial system of the United States from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day, with autographs ranging from early Treasury Secretaries Samuel Dexter and William H. Crawford to modern-day names like Henry Paulson, Timothy Geithner, and Jack Lew. Especially notable are autographs of Fred M. Vinson, who also served on the US Supreme Court; John B. Connally, who served as Governor of Texas and was wounded in the JFK assassination; Carter Glass and Henry Steagall, namesakes of important banking legislation; famed philanthropist Andrew Mellon; trust-buster John Sherman; and Blanche Bruce, the first elected African-American senator to serve a full term. In overall fine condition.
