Found another "train" check; unfortunately the stamp covers part of the train
At least the stamp gives the check some additional character.

Great looking vignette and background photo on the Manufacturers' National Bank check. Very artistic the way it is done.

Ooops! Left off a very important detail regarding the previous post of the promissory note.
The Native American vignette is a reproduction of a Frank Rinehart photo of Good eagle (Wanbli washte) Ogalala Lakota 1899.

Links to Frank Rinehart:
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Rinehart
2. http://www.artnet.com/artists/frank-a-rinehart/3
scroll down a ways to see actual Good eagle photograph

edit to correct spelling

Here's a check from a Connecticut bank with quite a banknote issuing history; I have ZERO banknotes, just a check but it's pretty nice ABNCo product.

Lovely note, Dorado, but it definitely qualifies as currency not a check. I'll have to give Techwriter a nudge and see if he has anything new to post...

It's been pretty quiet in the check section, while Les (techwriter) is taking a sabbatical. But I'll step in and add a couple new ones. Some nice engraving on these, especially the iron casting vignette.
