Ephemera
Original 1926 bank check from The National Bank of Anaconda, Montana, featuring a detailed illustration of the Anaconda Smelter Stack, captioned “Height 585 Feet.”
Dated July 12, 1926, check No. 572 is payable to Spokane News Co. for $4.48. Golden-yellow patterned paper, decorative bank lettering, handwritten entries, and a red machine-imprinted payment amount give this piece strong visual appeal.
The reverse bears a Spokane News Co. endorsement and a Daly Bank & Trust Company, Anaconda, Montana, paid stamp dated July 16, 1926. A printed fraud-protection statement along the lower front margin names the William J. Burns International Detective Agency.
An attractive piece of Montana banking and industrial ephemera, with additional interest for collectors of Spokane business history and illustrated checks.
Dimensions: Approximately 6.25 × 2.75 inches.
Condition: Very Good overall vintage condition, with light handling wear, a vertical fold crease, minor surface soiling, and small edge imperfections. Banking cancellation perforations pass through portions of the handwriting and design. Period ink stamps and handwritten notations appear on both sides. The smelter stack illustration remains clear and well defined.
