New one for me and its simple elegance speaks volumes;
besides, check number 906 makes it a flipper.

A lot of really neat checks. I do not have a lot of these, but here a few.

The one with the fish is really neat.

I also like the DeHaven Bros. check from 1870 for $1606.03 "Payable in Gold" I just can't imagine that today - that is 160 Eagles, one Half Eagle, one Gold Dollar, and I guess three Indian Head cents.

These are all nice, but the fish check is definitely the most intriguing! First one I've ever seen -- and even the embossed cancel is fish-shaped! Great contributions, thanks for posting.

It's always rewarding to collect a series of checks that sort of follows a business or person through the years by the checks that have been written. Thought I would share these for James A Manly, Lawyer from North Dakota

== check #60, April 24, 1912
Old-Checks
==
== check #510, Jan 21, 1914
Old-Checks
==
== check #50, June 5, 1914
Old-Checks
==
== check #129, March 3, 1925 (notice check number is printed number AND firm name change)
