Confederate Fakes If you note matches the numbers, it will be FAKE and
has No Collector Value. These items have all been produced since
the turn of the century. Most produced up to around 1945 were used
for advertising on one side and it's easy to tell that it's not
real. The Bogus Notes listed below were first produced around 1948
at the end of World War II when Americans started taking vacations
and there were even greater numbers made from 1960-1965 for the
Civil War Centennial. If you go to any of the National Parks and
many State Parks you can still buy examples of these in the gift
shops.
While we have listed every piece I've seen or been told about
over the past years, new examples surface from time to time. If you
run across one, please email me the date and serial number. I would
also like an image.
Thank You!
Charles
Please Note: Since serial numbers are most often handwritten, it is
sometimes hard to read them and people reporting them make
mistakes. So I have listed both numbers. It's obviously one or the
other. There is also a REAL note somewhere out there for each of
these too. Someone had to have the real note to make the copy from
it. A ? means unsure of digit. If you have any other
information regarding one of these reported serial numbers such as
DATE or TYPE please forward that too.
