BANKNOTES, Great Britain, Bank of England, John Brangwyn Page (1970-1980, 25th Chief Cashier), a fascinating group of banknotes all signed a second time by John Page personally, £10 (3), c.1971, serial nos.B77 969228, C30 241366 and C30 241380, all signed vertically at left in blue biro, £1 (5), c.1978, serial nos.A45 001078, 72C 123585, 72C 123586, 36T 686573 and 36T 686574, all signed vertically at left in "bank black", an ink used at the bank which does not fade (Dugg B326, B337, B339). The £1 notes generally uncirculated or nearly so, the ink signatures bright and fresh due to the bank black used, the £10 notes very fine or better with the ink signatures a little faded, a wonderful and extremely rare group of signed notes. (8)
John Page famously refused to hand sign any of his banknotes, despite the fact that he was very often asked to do so by people he met.

Estimate: £100-150
