OOOPS! the first link in my post of the Huguenot Bank check doesn't work (copied wrong link), my apologies. And it is also mis-labeled. I'll try to find it again. ==== Bad Link Do Not Use== Bank Picture and Banknote file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Ne...20Books.html====   |

Another more colorful check from the Muegee Drug Company dated 3 years earlier than my earlier post. Interesting to note he was a member of Woodmen of the World or perhaps his company was a corporate member. ==  == History link for a Muegee collectible: http://www.bergsengs.com/Muegge-OR.html |

Found this lying about on the Bay; a really great picture in time of American industrial prowess. Decided it needed a new home. And have included history link for Mr. Douglas. ==  ==  == History link for Mr. Douglas http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~m...Douglas.html== |

Found this super check lying about on ebay. Never seen one with such great vignettes; and the French Legion of Honor is a first for me. ==  == == == The government of France named Cyrus McCormick an Officier de la Legion d'honneur in 1851. == The medal pictured is French Third Republic == Edited by techwriter

Interesting. Is the bank name on the window in the vignette? Perhaps the early bank was destroyed by fire or they moved?

techwriter, you sure have some interesting checks. I don't normally collect checks, but finding Idaho depression scrip seems to be next to impossible, so, I found this nice looking Wallace National bank check example.  |
