The Short Snorter Project

| United States 1 dollar Silver Certificate (Series 1935A) - Submitted by: Tom Sparks This is the first note in a short snorter that is ten notes long and once belonged to Henry E. "Hank" Heyser. It is taped to a Trinidad and Tobago one dollar note and is signed on the back by Hollywood tough-guy actor James Cagney (*). Dated "3-24-43 - SHORT SNORTER HANK HEYSER, ROBERTS FIELD, LIBERIA." There was also a newspaper clipping in this lot from the Air Force Times August 8, 1977 issue titled "Ah, the Days of Short Snorters" which gives a pretty good account of the history and tradition of the short snorter phenomena of WWII. |
