          Emanuel Ninger (1846/1847 – July 25, 1924), known as "Jim the Penman", was a counterfeiter in the late 1880s.[1]

          Biography

          Ninger and his wife, Adelaide, arrived c.

          1876 from Germany[2] to live in Hoboken, New Jersey. He worked as a sign painter and then bought a farm in Westfield, New Jersey. He told his neighbors that he was receiving a pension from the Prussian army.[3] On October 12, 1892 he moved to Flagtown, New Jersey.[4]

          Forgery

          Ninger began counterfeiting in 1878,[2] and by 1879 the Treasury redemption bureau was aware of his work.[5] Not having any clues as to Ninger's identity, he was named "Jim the Penman" by the Secret Service.[6] Beginnin
