WOW.... Ebay RARE item...HAHAHA

Check out the Starting Price... Ye GADS....

That is a good laugh. A zero feedback seller who probably found this
in an old dresser and immediately had $ signs dancing in his head and
though they would cash in big on Ebay. Good old #8894 strikes
again.

I assume this is a repro, but casual browsers of this newsgroup wouldn't
know it based upon the comments in this thread so far.

When posting here, please try to keep in mind that not everyone who reads
the comments shares your wealth of knowledge. It's fine to poke fun at
stupid eBay listings, but it would be more helpful if you took a moment to
include a little information that explains why a particular listing is out
of line.

Goggle "8894 the bank of united states" and you will find many
references to this common reproduction (including a FAQ for this
newsgroup from 1997 at

and
