August 30, 1856 original check for $1,500. Remitted to “Stockton” and issued by Adams & Co. Bankers. Hole with small tear marks in center – likely where the check was attached to a pin-wall.
$50
Adams & Co. were the definitive gold rush bankers. They had the largest and most respected express agency in San Francisco and the West. The bank closed after the banking crises of 1855 – thus, is this a rubber check from 1856? The amount of $1,500 is quite large. Inflation adjusted, it comes in at over $50,000 today.
