Enloe

The First National Bank of Enloe

Enloe is in an unincorporated area of Delta County, south of Paris off TX 24.

These two blocks of buildings face each other in Enloe. There is no other downtown, and the First National Bank would have been in here someplace. The Enloe State Bank is still labeled.

The First National Bank of Enloe was chartered number 6271 in 1902 and stopped printing money in 1923.

Two notes are reported in the census, a 1902 Red Seal and a 1902 Plain Back.

In January, 2012, the Red Seal sold at the FUN Auction for $6,900.

In September, 2020, the exact same note is offered at the Long Beach Expo Currency Auction.
Between 2012 & 2020, it has been returned to PMG and regraded, going from a Choice Fine 15 to a Very Fine 20,
and this despite an obviously flawed reverse.

"Enloe, TX - $20 1902 Red Seal Fr. 639 The First National Bank Ch. # (S)6271 PMG Very Fine 20.
A great note from one of the rarest of Texas communities, with this northeast Texas locale represented by only two notes - a single Blue Seal which, after appearing in the Everson and Ivy collection auctions, has disappeared since its last appearance in 2001 - and the Red Seal we are offering tonight. Last on the market in our 2012 FUN auction, it's the only note to be offered from this charter since the last appearance of the aforementioned Blue Seal. It is a pleasing, pen signed $20 with bright inks and unblemished surfaces. A great note for the North Texas specialist."
