1895 Beloit WI State Bank Check – E.J. Evans, Cash Grocer to Macomb Pottery Co., $9.99, Beloit, Wisconsin
Approximately 8.25 by 3\"
Original 1895 bank check drawn on The Beloit State Bank, dated December 10, 1895, issued by E. J. Evans, Cash Grocer, of Beloit, Wisconsin. The check is made payable to Macomb Pottery Co. for $9.99 and features a bold purple stamped cancellation from The Beloit State Bank dated Dec 16 1895.
The reverse bears endorsement markings from The Bank of Macomb, Macomb, Illinois, along with signatures of Macomb Pottery Co. by W. Cornelius and C. F. Chandler & Co., reflecting the multi-bank clearing process typical of 19th-century commerce.
Printed by Wirmanns Bros. Lith., Milwaukee, the check includes decorative typography, scalloped left edge, and excellent period penmanship—making it a fine example of late-19th-century Midwestern banking and trade ephemera linking Wisconsin and Illinois manufacturing and retail networks.
