Endorsed Coccoran & Riggs bank check, 8 x 3.5, filled out and signed by a Corcoran & Riggs employee, payable to “Hon. M. Fillmore” for $397.75, December 26, 1849. Endorsed on the reverse, as vice president, “Pay to the order of Millard P. Fillmore, Millard Fillmore.” Simply and attractively matted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 7.5. In very good condition, with several vertical folds, cancellation cut to center, scattered toning, and show-through from writing on opposing sides, lesser so for show-through of check information.
Fillmore was serving as vice president under Zachary Taylor when he endorsed this document, just one day after Christmas. The holidays were a welcomed respite from a tumultuous period in which Fillmore, as president of the US Senate, oversaw debates between free states and slave states that ultimately would lead to the Compromise of 1850. A wonderful and very scarce ‘twice-signed’ Fillmore-endorsed check. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
