A very collectable go-with or complimentary item with any glass collection are Glass house scripts or monies.They were printed for use in the general store owned by the same person or people who owned the particular glass works mentioned on the bill.I have script monies three glass works to start with here.
The first up I have shown before here at the forum and it is a Dyottville Manual Labor Bank Note. This note is for 10 dollars.Dr Dyott's signature is hand signed and very legible on the note on the lower right hand side.A picture of Dyott in an ellipse shaped bust is on the right hand most side of the bill.The other picture is one of Ben Franklin and he is on the far left hand side of the bill.In the center of the note is a nice picture depicting what one of the furnaces surrounded by workers and glass blowers at Dyottville must have looked like in 1836. Dr. Dyott was the only glass maker to ever own his own bank.Although his bank was the ultimate and untimely end to his glass empire. Stephen Simpson signed all of Dyotts notes as it was he who was the contolling interset in the bank.H.Ridgeway was a grocer who purchased quite a bit of goods from Dr. Dyotts store and warehouse.At Dyott's trial for bank fraud it was Ridgeway and although he was owed quite a bit of money that deffended Dyott and helped him into getting a lesser of a sentence.
