B. Duncan operated out of Columbia, South Carolina, and was one of several southern printers pressed into Confederate currency production when the blockade made contracting with established northern or European firms impractical. Duncan's engraving work was competent but clearly produced under resource constraints — the plates lack the fine detail achievable by firms like the American Bank Note Company, and the paper stock varied considerably across printings.
Criswell T-28 belongs to the September 2, 1861 authorization series. Forgeries of Duncan-printed Confederate notes appeared during the war itself, some produced in the North as deliberate economic sabotage.
