Molsons Bank, Rawdon, Wright & Hatch Issue of 15th Septr. 1837

An uncut sheet, $1.1.2.5 with check letters A.B.A.A.  The $1s and $2 are drafts on Thomas and William Molson and the $5 is a regular bank note, to conform with legal restrictions of the period.  This appears to be a modern reprint from the original plate, again the first we've seen.  It is a rather light printing on white paper with green backing; the second $1 note did not print as well as the first did.  As Charlton #490-11-02, 490-11-04, 490-11-06.  Another extremely rare issue, so much so that the $2 image has not been available until now.
