An Impressive Group of New York Checks and Drafts from 1808-1898. [120+] This interesting lot begins with several handwritten checks, drafts, receipts and bills from 1808 through 1840 that relate mostly to shipping and insurance. Stamped endorsements from the Manhattan Company are noted on two pieces. Many from the 1840s and 1850s with lovely vignettes are included. Perhaps the most unusual vignette is a train wreck, featured on a receipt from the United States Mutual Accident Association. Checks with revenue stamps affixed, and imprinted are present, along with several Bank of NY GOLD checks. Sold as is, no returns.
