Title: [San Francisco] 1895 IL TICINO Swiss Rifle Club and Hibernia Savings and Loan Society Banking Documents
Publication: San Francisco, CA: The Swiss Rifle Club and The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society, 1895

Description: Document. Two documents from an American immigrant social and recreational club that formed part of the diverse cultural mosaic of 19th century San Francisco. The documents are directed to The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society and are signed by the President, the Secretary and three different trustees. Both are stamped with the club's rubber stamp seal. Two paper documents, with the later 1897 document tipped-in on top, updating the signing officers from the club's original 1895 printed resolution. The Jan. 10th, 1895 printed resolution measures 15 inches tall x 9.25 inches wide, and is printed recto onto laid paper watermarked "PENELOPE LINEN" and contains black ink infill. The Jan. 20th, 1897 update document measures 9.75 inches tall x 7.75 inches wide and is executed recto in black ink onto lined writing paper. Both documents with some creases, mailing fold lines and toning, the 1895 resolution also has scattered stains and tiny losses along top edge. Very Good.

The San Francisco History Center branch of The San Francisco Public Library holds ephemera from the Swiss Rifle Club in their San Francisco Ephemera Collection (Call Number: SF SUB COLL) however, their documents carry a date of 1910 - fifteen years later than these 19th c. documents. Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley holds The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society ledgers, 1859-1906 with the names of many famous subscribers and well-known founders. "Hibernia Savings and Loan Society was incorporated April 12, 1859 in San Francisco, California, by a group of Irish businessmen in order to provide the Irish community with a secure place of deposit for their savings."
