Owner's Description

The series of 1923, often called "Horseblanket" shows the bust of George Washington, from the famous painting by Gilbert Charles Stuart.
Note looks somewhat similar to todays small size $1 note.
The series of 1923 notes came with a blue U. S. Treasury Seal only.
The series of 1923 notes came with 3 different Registery of the Treasury & Treasurer of the United States signature combinations.
On August 20, 1925, Treasury Secretary Andrew William Mellon appointed a committee to investigate possible advantages (reduced cost-increased production speed) to issuing smaller sized United States banknotes.
In May, 1927, the committees recommendations for the size reduction & redesign of the U. S. banknotes were accepted.
On July 10, 1929, the new small-size currency was issued.
