Partially printed Office of Bank of United States bank check, 7.25 x 2.75, filled out in another hand and signed by Jackson, as president, payable to Andrew J. Donelson for $100.00, October 7, 1833. Archivally cloth matted and framed by Gallery of History, with a portrait of Jackson, to an overall size of 13.5 x 17.75. In very good condition, with cancellation cut to body affecting several letters of first name of signature, small tear above cancellation cut, and some scattered light creasing and toning. This check’s recipient, Andrew Jackson Donelson, was the president’s nephew who served with Jackson as his aide-de-camp during his fight against the Seminole Indians in Florida. During Jackson’s eight-year presidency, Donelson served as his personal secretary and in 1856 was Millard Fillmore’s vice presidential running mate. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries partially printed checks were not yet commonly used, and checks of that era were usually entirely completed by hand, more closely resembling promissory notes. As such, partially printed examples of early presidents are significantly rarer than their manuscript counterparts. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
