Counter-signatures

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Does anyone here have two Dominion of Canada notes with the same counter-signature.
I’ve seen some pretty unique ones and thought to have two the same would be nice to have.

Here are two 1898 $1 notes with what appears to be the same person's countersignature (it's the best I could come up with on spur-of-the-moment)...

Did you mean two different issues of notes?

 Thanks Sparky,
            This is exactly what I was wondering,different issues would be really nice but I think these are great.
 The numbers are so far apart too.

These signers are not entirely anonymous.  They are listed in civil service records, usually just name, date of birth, date hired on, date retired.  Some of those ladies kept working for the Department of Finance, just signing away, until they were 80 or more.  Pension plans weren't too good in those days, I guess.  Information on these people has been published in CPMS Journals years ago - see for example Ruth McQuade's article, page 71, 1987 Journal.
Caroline Longley Bennett (signed notes shown above) was born 7 Nov. 1845, hired 20 Jan. 1884, last year of known employment was 1920.  By this time notes were all machine signed, so she was probably "laid off".  (How easy would it have been for a girl of 75 to find another job, I wonder?)  With 36 years of service, her signature ought to show up on a wide range of Dominion notes.

Here is Ms. Caroline Longley Bennett's counter signature on an 1882 $4 note and an 1887 $2 note.

.....and here is another counter-signature match on a series A 1898 $1 note along side Mr. Courtney's, and a series R 1898 $1 note along side Mr. Boville's.

That signature is a very familiar one - belongs to Fairy Emily Jane Nettle, born 8 March 1862, hired 1 June 1884, last employed by the Department in 1919.
You have some very nice Dominion notes!

   There are some very nice notes shown indeed.Now I wonder how many notes would have been signed during the ladies term of employment?
  The question was originally asked because of a conversation with another forum member,but neither of us had the answer.
  Thank you for sharing your knowledge and scans of examples.
