A collection of thirteen checks from a variety of Philadelphia banks dating from 1849 to 1876. Two of the checks are signed by Cadwalader Biddle, a member of Philadelphia's historic Biddle family. Some of the checks are for transactions of huge amounts of money -- one records a $5000 transaction in 1871, which would equal $129,000 in today's money. Two checks feature RN-Hs printed in orange ink. Banks represented include the Bank of North America, Philadelphia Bank, Consolidation National Bank, and Girard National Bank.
