Description
Cincinnati, 1876 and 1883: Aticot" Antiquarian Booksellers. Approx. 8 3/4" x 3 3/4" and 8 1/2" x 3/ 3/4" These checks were printed by Krebs of Cincinnati for the Carson City Savings Bank, which was incorporated in 1875. One was issued for gold (1876), another for currency (1883). Since those that could be used for gold were still preferred in the West over currencies in the late 19th century, they often relied on Krebs whose bonds could not easily be counterfeited. As some printers developed high quality fake checks, the stamps and signatures became the primary means of determining legitimacy, Scarce to find both Krebs items together.
