Is that an imprint of a cross on the right side of the check?

That's how they use to "cancel" checks. They would cut that design through it. Kind of an X cross cut

It is called a cut cancel. They can also be found on some stamps, mainly revenue and tax stamps from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.

Thanks for the information. This forum never disappoints.

John, glad to share. I believe knowledge is to be shared. It helps everyone.
I also get to add a nice new find. It is not even for my personal collection as he is not an American and I only collect images of American Olympians. This signature is nice for my Olympic Autograph database. Probably the only exemplar collection of just Olympians. This is Claes Johanson (1884-1949) - He won a gold medal in Greco-Roman Wrestling (middleweight) at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and a gold medal in Greco-Roman Wrestling (light heavyweight) at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerpen. He also competed in 1924 in Paris, but did not medal at the age of 40. Below his signature it reads: 'Olympiska Mastare 1920' - Olympic Champion 1920 and 'Goteborg, Sverige' - Goteborg, Sweden, the town he lived in. |

Picked up my first Greenberg complete with the envelope he sent it back in. Thanks, Sean.

Thrilled with these for the WWII collection:
Chylak: was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge and earned a Purple Heart. (Had a severe eye injury; sometimes umpire jokes write themselves.) Donatelli: fascinating story: was a POW in Germany, actually started his umpiring "career" there, umping games between the prisoners. Also, acquired last month, what I feel is a total oddity and surely uncommon: Harold Arlin, who was the first broadcaster ever over the radio for a baseball game (and FB!) Ken |
