Here is another British American Bank Note Company Ad Sheet in black and green on India measuring 208 x 130mm and showing Victoria Widow Weed, Jacques Cartier and other vignettes, engine-turned scrolls, value tablets and more.  I think this was printed earlier than the previous one I posted.

Do you know the date of that sale ?  The last time I saw a "red version" of that particular ad sheet sell was on November 14th, 2011 and it sold for USD $ 800.

Thanks for catching my error, the Archives International sale you mentioned in 2011 was the last sale of the "red" note.
I looked up the green/black version in error, which sold for $3400 + commission.
Commissions of 18% seem high, but if the perceived results are higher....
