Checks Mix. It's Tasty! (Part 2)

Looking for old checks similar to what are posted here. I love some of these examples and they are exactly what I like to buy for my collection!

mispost.

I think this topic deserves a bump. I'd like to see some recent acquisitions of other members. Here are my latest finds.

The best way to rob a bank is to own one.

Here are a couple more that I picked up at a show recently. The building on the New York Promissory Note is a mystery. It is not the old pre-dome U.S. Capitol. I think it's probably a building in NYC, but haven't identified it yet.





The female portrait on this one is singer Jenny Lind. She was very famous in her day, with the nickname the "Swedish Nightengale".

Here is the old pre-dome U.S. Capitol for anyone not familiar with the engraving

A nice revenue stamped paper example (RN-D1) with a lovely little train vignette. Printed by J M Whittemore.

"J.M. Whittemore & Co., based in Boston, Massachusetts, was a prominent publisher and job printer active during the Civil War era (approximately 1861–1865). The firm is well-known for producing patriotic ephemera, including illustrated Civil War envelopes, broadsides, and, in some cases, religious or political discourses."

Stumbled upon this thread today -- very nice material -- love the engraving -- a lost art these days.

Here is my one and only banknote -- a collateral piece to my 1851 3c collection. It is an uncirculated $10 note from Canal Bank of New Orleans -- printed by Toppan Carpenter -- and at the top are the vignettes they used for the 1851 1c and 3c issues.

The building on GregAlex check, in my opinion is the Merchants exchange building in New York. Wall Street 55. 1827/1835

A lovely RN-X7

After a little Googling, I also agree with Johan Buvelot -- the building on the check is the Merchants Exchange on Wall Street in NYC, built in the 1840s. I was surprised to learn that it still exists, although it has been significantly expanded. Even the dome remains, but it is now enclosed and can best be seen from the interior.
