Description
Macerated Currency
Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes Ladies Shoe
Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes, "Ladies High-heeled Shoe" Design, Choice Extremely Fine.
This original example of Macerated Currency measures 5.5" x 1.5", 2" high. Original label is lacking, but based on other examples, this shoe probably has an estimated value of $4,000 in old Bank notes or so used in its production. It is in the form of a Ladies High-heeled shoe.
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.
