This one may be less interesting to philatelic collectors, but it is now my earliest bank check. You don't see many from the 1820s and this one is engraved, which is even less common.
There's no printer's imprint on that check, but it probably came from Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. They had a very distinctive style of ornamentation (no lathework, all hand engraved). If anyone can match up the lady in the boat, let me know.
