This is a check written off of the F. Berton & Co. Bank in Grass Valley, California dated 1879; for $231.00 . This is the successor to Hentsch & Berton. A rare find from gold country California. Crisp corners without foxing at 2.75 in. X 7.5 in. Please see photo for details. Hentsch & Berton were the successors in 1863 to Henry Hentsch's banking and assay business in San Francisco. Hentsch was born in Geneva in approximately 1830 and arrived in California in 1849. After working in Grass Valley and Sonoma he opened an assay office and bank in San Francisco around 1856. Hentsch is perhaps best known to numismatists by the rare Hentsch gold ingots found at the wreck site of the S.S. Central America, which sank in 1857.
