PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:  I sell ONLY ORIGINAL items and NOT ANY reproductions.

This sale is for one


advertising BANK CHECK


with a G type

IMPRINTED REVENUE


 STAMP


and it is from


The FIRST NATIONAL

BANK 

of


ALBIA, IOWA


during the year of 1877. 

This CHECK IS ON a PINKISH TYPE of PAPER but looks a bit brown in the scan.

CHECK IS SIGNED IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER BY

J. A. ( John A. ) DRAKE,

The PRESIDENT of  THE BANK. 


Check is made out to

DR.  J. C. MORRISON


and is signed/endorsed as such on the back. 

Mr. Morrison transfers the value of the check (on the back)

to J. C. AYER & COMPANY


who, also, endorsed the back of the check. 

Across the bottom left edge, this check was printed by the

Milwaukee Litho & Engraving Company

 

located in Wisconsin.  

Technically, I think this is called a DRAFT and not a check.  Lower left corner shows the

 check to be drafted to the

NINTH NATIONAL BANK


of  NEW YORK.

This check is in very good condition with a formed cut cancel.  The "EBAY ITEM" thing is just a loose piece of paper that is not attached to the check.

If you have any questions, please contact me
