This exceptional piece of 19th-century financial history features an original 1873 bank check issued by the historic New York wholesale drug firm, Lanman & Kemp, and drawn on the Merchants National Bank. Notably, the piece showcases a striking, large \"GOLD\" overprint across the center, indicating it was strictly payable in gold coin during the post-Civil War era. Dated August 28, 1873, and made out for $39.71, it retains beautiful handwritten ink details, sharp typography, and its original orange two-cent internal revenue stamp. It is a fantastic addition for any collector of banking ephemera, numismatic history, or reconstruction-era financial artifacts.
