American Depression Era Counterfeit Notes

[jpgharv29]

Good afternoon all,

I was hoping for a little help...

We purchased what appears to be American depression (1930s) era counterfeit notes from a local sale here in, Jersey. The notes were sold by an elderly woman who stated her father once owned a General Store and a customer tried to pass these off during a purchase in that era. They kept them all these years and she later framed them. 

They're very nicely hand-drawn of pencil graphite and ink on paper. 

My question(s).... is there a "market" for such notes? Is it "legal and/or permitted" to re-sell them?

I've searched for a number of hours and cannot find any comparables. Can you all please help?

Thanks!

They are illegal to own. 

Having said that, there is a market for this sort of thing, as there is for almost everything. You would have to find a dealer willing to buy them under the table. 

Not that I would ever recommend such a thing.

Thanks so much for your time and to help answer my questions. Most appreciated!

agathetyche,

You've helped me over the years ID a few "ancient" items. 

I was hoping if you can please share your thoughts once again on this tiny chalcedony stone disc:

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!
