<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2500721, member: 24274&quot;]I picked up some pretty cool checks at the ANA Anaheim show and I&#039;m just getting around to scanning them. My favorite is this 3rd sight draft (can someone explain that?) from Adams &amp; Co. Express, a rival of Wells Fargo. This one is unissued</p><p>but the company operated from 1850 to 55, during the heyday of the California gold rush. I&#039;ve seen checks from branches in Sacramento and Marysville, and I know they also had a branch in Portland, Oregon. </p><p><br /></p><p>The central vignette shows a sluice with miners panning and a mining camp in the background. Great piece of history.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530449[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
