Check
I saw that one also, I bought this one from Small Traditions and was described as signed, but final bid was $75 or so, no one thought it was signed by Brown. The ones in Clean Sweep looked to be from the same group as this one (Small Traditions had several) and someone must have been trying to flip it I guess. It is odd though that the "signature" on the back is signed on top of the clearing house stamp. Makes me think that it is a forger that is not too sure of his work and is trying to put the signature in the busiest part of the check. I was just wondering if that was some kind of old bank book keeping technique to write the recipients name over the stamp, because the cancelled check would have gone to Mr. Young, not Brown, right?
