Four Cent Registered Bond (1 results)

Broadside. Broadside. 11.5" x 9." Remainder, never issued; back with transfer form. Edges are quite chipped, touching the top of the printed border, else affecting only the margins. Generally, quite fragile. Bonds were a largely insufficient means to help the Confederate government fund the Civil War, but also to engage the populous who could with no small measure of patriotism, help the war effort with hopes of a modest return on investment. This late war bond was issued from early 1864 through to the end of the war. This comports with Ball & Simmons Type 156.
