These two Antique Bank Checks from the Sterling Iron Railway Company of New York are from 1868. The checks were written for the "payment of bills" and both transactions had a Federal Tax to pay as indicated by the tax stamps. The two stamps are different: one is a common Internal Revenue #R15 & the second is a Bank Check (#R6). Stamp value is only 40 cents. The checks are in plastic and boarded and are in very good condition (see photo). These are the checks you will get. Shipping combined on multiple purchases and thanks for stopping by.
