Beautiful 50 LEVA Bulgarian Banknote with handsome renditions of mid-1800's F.M. Weiler Liberty letterpress. Engravings are technically incorrect and could not possibly operate. The Liberty platen press was invented by Degener before 1860 in USA & received medals at 1862 London World's Fair and Paris Expo. Company & patents acquired by F.M. Weiler who produced Liberty presses into early 1900's in US and in Berlin ~perhaps longer in Europe. This authentic 50 LEVA banknote appears to honor the Liberty press or inventor. Of interest are 2 incorrect technical representations of the paper grippers extended up between the ink rollers where the ink fountain should be. The ink rollers should fit into the 3 groves cast for them at the sides of the upper press body structure. The engraver apparently did not study the press or never observed a Liberty press in operation. This nice press could not function with such mechanical impediment ~ an impending train wreck for sure. The Liberty press is a rather smooth and easily operated treadle press, not at all unpleasant to work for such a large treadle press and is a marvel to watch. Nice oddity for avid letterpress printers, graphic arts folks & collectors of banknotes and banknote errors. Payment: Please use PayPal Best to pay after invoiced Prices expressed in US Dollars.
