Description
Macerated Currency
Souvenier "HAT" Made Of Redeemed Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes at the U.S. Treasury
Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes, Large BRIM HAT, With Original Printed U.S. Treasury Tag, Choice Extremely Fine.
This fresh, clean and highly original example of Macerated Currency measures 3.75" x 3.25" at the brim and 1.75" tall and is in near mint condition. The original U.S. Treasury Tag is still attached and reads; "Made of United States Bank Notes redeemed and macerated at the U.S. Treasury, Washington, D.C. Estimated $15,000" and formed into a lovely style hat with a large brim, it would make for a wonderful display item.
Between the mid 1870s to 1928, worn and mutilated United States Currency Banknotes were returned to the Treasury Department where they were reduced to paper pulp and made into Souvenirs for sale to the public. By the 1890s, the pulp was sold to various contractors such as the National Currency Souvenir Co., where it was used to create souvenir busts of prominent Americans, historical images and replicas of various national monuments.
