Lot 880
Shelby, Joseph. Check Signed ("Jos. Shelby"), drawn on The Farmer's Bank of Missouri," 3¼ x 7½ in., Lexington, MO, 12 October 1860. Written to William Spratt in the amount of $1532.34, a rather substantial sum at the time. Curiously, a pen cancellation in the center of the obverse reads, in part: "Protested for nonpayment October 15, 1861." Minor folds and some small marginal tears at the left bottom obverse. Several endorsements appear on the reverse. Could it be that this Confederate General wrote a rubber check!? A rare format for Shelby.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
