In about 1987 or thereabouts, a pile of these accumulated bonds was found in a safe in London and bought by a Dallas, Texas investor who advertised them in a full-page full-color ad on the inside or back cover of Civil War Times Illustrated Magazine. Since I was living at the time in Dallas, on one of my days off I went downtown to the bank or office building where their offices were located on an upper floor. They brought out a great roll of these, many different designs and colors, mainly printed on thin poor-quality paper, in several editions and many different denominations and designs. Most were offered in the $50 - $100 range and I picked out a faded pink one with a nice picture of Stonewall Jackson on it and a stamp that read Purchased in Houston, Texas across the face of the bond; as noted above, the first coupon had been clipped, which was true of the rest I saw of them. I subsequently had it framed and it hangs in my living room next to the bookcase.
