A pair of demand notes, including a rare R84c single-usage from the merchant firm of Howard, Sanger & Co., owned and operated by Samuel E. Howard and Henry Sanger.

The Union Sketchbook listed the New York firm’s (Cary, Howard, Sanger & Co.) inventory as “the product of the taste and ingenuity of three continents…1,500 different kinds of foreign and domestic fancy goods, comprising jewelry, perfumes, watches, cutlery, guns, musical instruments, comb, brushes.”
