The Sir David Kirch Collection of Skit Notes - Part One
Little Sheffield Bank, for Presto, Adagio, Moderato & Concertante, 5 Halfpence, 1797, no signature or serial number, fine and very rare
Outing unlisted £150-£200
---
This is one of the few 'skit notes' that appears to be almost entirely devoid of meaning. It could be a joke which we no longer have the context to understand, or it could be some kind of printing test or sample. In any case, it is one of the earliest 'skit notes' known.
