A wonderful grouping of European banknotes collected by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower before and during his tenure as Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. As is the custom with soldiers all over the world, Ike collected bills from the various countries he visited. Many soldiers had their friends sign these, making them 'short snorters' that could be taped together. The longest 'short snorter' in the bar would earn its owner free drinks. In Ike's case, such behavior would be frowned upon, but he collected banknotes regardless. Included in this lot are eight bills, all from Germany and in various denominations, all circulated. These notes are accompanied by a copy of an Oct. 29, 2021 letter of provenance from Gettysburg resident Kenneth A. Brame. In his letter (and confirmed by Gettysburg residents), Brame worked for the Eisenhowers at their Gettysburg farm from 1965 to 1970 and was bequeathed a variety of personal items by Mamie Eisenhower, including the late general's saddle. Brame had met Ike as the ex-president would visit a local Stuckey's, managed by Brame's parents, every day for his morning coffee. Eisenhower's saddle, these notes, photographs, and other Eisenhower family objects were sold by Brame at Yingling's Auction Service of Gettysburg on October 29, 2021, and a copy of their flyer for the sale is included.
