New York. New-York Manufacturing Society. June 22, 1790. ONE PENNY H. Ten Brook, Treasurer. Shells in three corners. Printed by Hugh Gaine. "Mind your Business" on the back. This company was organized for the politically acceptable purpose of creating employment for the poor. It later became the first manufacturing company in the State of New York to receive a corporate charter. A scarce and important private issue that filled an urgent need for small change in the post Colonial era. (See the bond and share portion of this sale for further information on this company.) Very Fine.
