This exceptional piece of 19th-century financial history features an original 1873 bank check issued by the prominent New York wholesale drug firm, Lanman & Kemp, and drawn on The Bank of New York (famously founded by Alexander Hamilton). A highly prized variety for ephemera collectors, the check showcases a stunning, massive \"GOLD\" overprint across the center with an underprinted orange graphic, designating it strictly for payment in gold coin during the Reconstruction era.

Complete with its original orange two-cent internal revenue stamp embedded in the center design, this highly visual piece serves as a premier centerpiece for any collection of antique banking checks, numismatic history, or Wall Street memorabilia. Complete with bank hammer strikes!
