I have a Hard to Find WWII Short Snorter w/ 23 Signatures on a 1935 A US $1 Silver Certificate!
Dated - 29 SEPT 1945 and signature on the back is a Leiutenant (Lt.)
Great piece of History!
SOLD!!!!! (Also feel free to pm me with interest or post here)
A little background on what a SHORT SNORTER is...
"To expand on the definition as it was known in and about 1942--If you crossed the ocean by air, you were a member of a "club." You got people to sign a banknote: In the case of an American, it was usually a dollar bill. If you were British, it was a 10 shilling note. The "game" was that, if someone asked you for your "short snorter" you had to produce it. If you didn't, you owed them a drink. Or a "dollar." Most short snorters are from WWII."
Check condition for yourself from the scans but still has some crispness to it.
