Lot of two: 1) Portland Clearing House Association, five-dollar depression scrip (1933), cancelled, eagle vignette. 2) The Red Hook Building Company, New York, one dollar, 1838. The Red Hook Building Company was the brainchild of Col. Daniel Richards. He saw great potential for Red Hook, Brooklyn as a center for trade and housing. In the late 1830s he formed the Red Hook Building Company. A publicly owned real estate development concern with a plan to develop all of Red Hook.

(The stock certificates looked similar to today's dollar bills.)
