Description
Three unused paper rolls for $5 worth of dimes, bearing the label "Eastern Trust And Banking Co. Bangor - Brewer - Old Town - Machias. Complete Banking Service. Established 1887." The Eastern Trust was sold in 1969, so these rolls could date to any time between 1887 and 1969, but are likely from the late 19th or early 20th century to the 1940s, based on paper quality. The former location of the Old Town branch of Eastern Trust and Banking Co., opened on June 8, 1887, can still be seen at the corner of Main and Center Streets.
