<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1542673, member: 24274&quot;]I picked up three nice additions to my check collection in the past couple weeks. All of them are steel engraved and the first two were definitely printed in the same time period as obsolete bank notes and share the same vignettes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Bank of Ulster certificate of deposit from Saugerties, NY was issued in 1862. The printer was Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear &amp; Co., which existed between 1850-57 and was one of the founding members of American Bank Note in 1858.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another founding member, Rawdon, Wright &amp; Hatch, printed the blue 1856 check issued for $1,000 in Boston. This was the monthly payment for the lease of the Sullivan Railroad, a shortline railroad that ran about 25 miles through New Hampshire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
