This rarity was also acquired from the 2004 Ford Collection sale, at $14,400, where it was described as, "'We Promise Jointly and Severally to pay to Hunking Wentworth of Portsmouth Merchant or Order...' Signed by And.(rew) Wiggin, J.(ohn) Rindge, and Theo(dore) Atkinson. Signed on the verso, by the assignee, Hunking Wentworth. Printed on sturdy, laid paper. 105mm by 130mm. A 'tall' note, printed in black face and back. The top half has the textual agreement within a simple rectangular frame (without the rounds), at the top is scroll indent, and below 'PROVINCE/OF/N. Hampshire'. At the lower left is Colony Seal with pine tree vignette within oval and a ship vignette heading west, to the colonies. Printed from a plate state that shows weakening on both sides, particularly the face seal and back indent printing. The good news is...this note is a fabulous grade! Choice Extremely Fine, extremely bright with the look of a 'new' note. This is lightly quarter folded, evident from the back only and a light edge split. The note is trimmed in at the bottom, losing the extremely wide margin. The top is also trimmed in close and slightly in. The back with two stamp hinges at the right, one top and one bottom. An extremely choice example from this rare series..."
