COMMERCE EPHEMERA - Lot of Three Early 1900s Checks

Bank Check: Early 1900’s Ephemera

 This includes three checks one is endorsed and cancelled (machine and punch cancels) bank cashier check from the First National Bank of Ely Nevada dated 1928.

The second check is from the State Bank and Trust Company from 1904. And the third is from the Wells Fargo Bank & Union Trust Co. dated 1938

These checks provide a fascinating glimpse into the financial operations and economic history of the early 20th century west; back when your word and your dollar were as Good As Gold. The check is signed by cashier and endorsed with routing stamps showing the three clearing house or clearing Banks where and how the checks were routed. This provides the definitive financial trial of how money flowed during those times – a great and tangible piece of western US financial history.

We grade these checks in very good condition with no major issues and just showing minor wear and folds.  A great example of early 1900's commerce.
