Rare National Bank Notes from Blackfoot, Idaho

Idaho National Bank Notes – Blackfoot Idaho

The state of Idaho (became a state in 1890, our nation's  43rd state) had 86 national currency issuing charters in 56 towns. There are approximately 1,120 Idaho national bank notes known, ranking it the 6th scarcest state just edging out Nevada at #7.  Six charters have bank notes that are unknown.

On the Treasuredstocks.com web site, a number of Idaho-based National Bank Notes are available. We are proud to post notes from (in alphabetical order) Ashton; Blackfoot; Boise; Caldwell; Idaho Falls; Lewiston; Malad City; Nampa; Parma; Preston; Saint Anthony; Salmon; Shoshone; Twin Falls; Wallace; Weiser, and others.

 One of those "treasured" Idaho-related National Bank Notes is from  the rural community of Blackfoot, Idaho. Located in Southeast Idaho, Blackfoot is the county seat for Bingham County, Idaho, the County adjacent and directly north of Bannock County.

Blackfoot is where all Southeast Idaho folks go to attend the Eastern Idaho State Fair. 

On 13 January 1885 Bingham County, with Blackfoot as its seat, was established; Blackfoot became incorporated in 1907.

Treasuredstocks.com has a 1929 ten dollar note from the First National Bank of Blackfoot, Idaho.
Open for just three decades starting in 1904, this is not only the first, but the only national bank located in this Southeastern Idaho town. From 1904 through the beginning of 1934, this bank printed red seals, blue seals, and small sized brown seals. 

Idaho based National Bank Notes are rare; Idaho based Red Seal National Bank Notes are even more scarce. Take a quick look in your wallet and you may find real Idaho gold!

A Bohemian treasure!!

What is the link between a 1700 painted selfie and the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe? Read on ...

Petr Jan Brandl was born October 24, 1668 in Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia. He died September 24, 1735 (at the age of 66). His nationality was Czech. 

Petr Jan Brandl was a noted painter and artist of incredible talent and style. He was part of the Baroque movement. His father was a goldsmith. 

In tribute, an entire hall at the National Gallery in Prague (what is now Czechoslovakia) is devoted to his works. Brandl is known for his 1725 painting titled “Bust of an Apostle.” 

This self-portrait was painted in 1700. This selfie Painting was engraved into the Bohemia and Moravia 500 Korun banknote (1942) during Nazi occupation. 

Here is a copy of this amazing SPECIMEN note.
