Description

Porter-endorsed check from his Indiana hometown

Endorsed check, 8.5 x 3.25, filled out and signed in another hand, payable to Porter for $1500.00, December 14, 1925. Endorsed on the reverse in black ink, “For deposit only in Fifth Avenue Bank, N.Y. Cole Porter.” In very good condition with two vertical folds, scattered wrinkling, and expected bank stamps and punch holes, none of which affect his signature. The check is drawn on the First National Bank of Peru, Indiana, with that Hoosier city being Porter’s birthplace. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
