This extremely early 1746 Delaware note served the purpose of funding the loan office. The front of this note features the English Arms and borders cut by Thomas Leech. Interestingly, where Delaware notes from 1753 and later are printed by Franklin and Hall, these 1746 notes were credited to Benjamin Franklin alone. Although heavily worn/damaged, the date of this scarce early Franklin note is still legible at the bottom left. Opportunity to own one of these sought after notes at a fraction of the cost.
Signers: William Armstrong, John Clowes
