World War II-dated personal check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed in bold fountain pen by Babe Ruth, "G. H. Ruth," payable to Cartier for $13.50, December 12, 1941. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. An exceedingly desirable Ruth check that dates closely to a significant moment in American history. Five days prior, the Japanese attacked the Pearl Harbor naval base in Honolulu, an event that prompted the United States to officially enter WW2 on December 11th.
