An Update for Frank Sente's R163 Exhibit: The US 1898 Battleship Workhorse
In 2011, I first published Frank Sente's R163 exhibit. That version of his exhibit has been the one posted to this site for 14 years. Below is the latest version, most recently shown at this year's NAPEX. Special additions include an R163 bisected in the Indian Territory, and an example used to pay the telephone call tax.

New York Stock Brokers: Archie H. Pell of McIntyre & Marshall
Archie Pell became a member of the New York Stock Exchange during the 1898 tax period, and traded through McIntyre & Marshall. By the drawing I figure the artist thought his pasttimes included golf, women, and the occasional scotch & soda.

Charles Maury began the tax period at Jones, Maury, and then traded through a firm with only his name, Charles W. Maury & Company, by 1901.

New York Stock Brokers: Louis Josephthal of Albert Loeb & Company
Mr. Josephthal depicted as a military conquerer using vulgar and racist imagery. Josephthal would rise to the rank of rear admiral, and was noted as both a financier and naval officer. He was married to Edith Guggenheim. Josephthal acquired his NYSE seat during the tax period and conducted his businesses at Albert Loeb & Company.

New York Stock Brokers: Leo Levy of Leo Levy & Company
Levy's firm had four brokers with seats at the NYSE, making them fairly significant players in the market to afford such a presence. Two "L. Levy" brokers are listed with the firm throughout the 1898 tax period; I suppose one might have been a son, and that he is the one depicted above from The Stock Market in Caricature, 1904.

New York Stock Brokers: Albert H. Gross of J. M. Leopold & Company and Gross, Kleeberg & Company
Mr. Gross must have purchased a new-fangled sail/steamboat to busy himself while he was not trading stocks. Gross acquired his seat at the NYSE during the 1898 tax period while he was at the J. M. Leopold firm. He departed Mr. Leopold to start his own firm, Gross, Kleeberg, by 1902. The search continues for a Gross, Kleeberg cancel or stock memo of sale.

New York Stock Brokers: Allen Arnold of Lawson, Arnold & Company
Lawson, Arnold was primarily based in Boston but Allen Arnold held a seat at the New York Stock Exchange, and was influential enough on Wall Street to find a place in The Stock Market in Caricature.

New York Stock Brokers: Joseph Connah of H. Knickerbacker & Company
Joseph Connah from The Stock Market in Caricature, 1904. Connah acquired his seat at the NYSE early in the tax period; he was not on the roles in 1898.
Robert Gibson was the permanent member of the Knickerbacker firm through the 1898 tax period.

New York Stock Brokers: Percival Kuhne of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne
Percival Kuhne seems to have had globe straddling business and ambition. He was a full partner at Knauth, Nachod & Kuhn and held a seat at the NYSE throughout the entire 1898 tax period.
KN&K used a rather unique vertical box cancel.

New York Stock Brokers: John S. James of R. J. Kimball & Company
In The Stock Exchange in Caricature, John James is depicted as painter while not trading stocks. James held a seat at the NYSE through 1901 but was out by 1902. He was based throughout at the R. J. Kimball firm.
