Description

Crisp, clean check signed and initialed by the Little Round Top hero

Maine-born Union major general (1828–1914) who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his defense of Little Round Top at Gettysburg. Choice bank check, 7.25 x 2.75, neatly filled out and signed by Chamberlain, “J. L. Chamberlain,” payable to J. L. C. for $100, July 30, 1874. Chamberlain also did some arithmetic in the lower right to arrive at the $100 amount, and the check bears an affixed two-cent revenue stamp. In fine condition, with an insignificant central vertical fold and three expected bank stamps (one affecting the first two letters of his signature). Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
