Hartford, Connecticut, 1790-91.

All three were issued for 5 Shillings, Black text with simple black scroll work border, each with near invisible cut-cancel at center, and nicely signed by Ralph Pomeroy as Comptroller. (3 items)
Ralph Pomeroy was a notable figure in the late 18th century, serving as the Comptroller of Connecticut in 1790. His career began with significant military service during the American Revolutionary War, where he held positions such as first lieutenant and Deputy Quartermaster General for Connecticut.

Following the Revolutionary War, Pomeroy engaged in mercantile and manufacturing activities in Hartford. Despite his attempts to secure federal appointments for himself, including requests made to George Washington, he remained active in state roles, notably managing Connecticut's finances as Comptroller, where he oversaw state debt payments and other fiscal responsibilities.
