Note - the photos you see are of this check - no 'Stock Photos' - we never use them. Eli Whitney was a citizen of New Haven, Connecticut. He was known for inventing the Cotton Gin - he lost his fortune in fights over the Patents for that device, but instead made up for the losses with the manufacture of muskets for the newly formed United States Army during the Quasi-War with France. This may be a descendant of Mr. Whitney.The Erie & Pittsburgh Railroad Company was formed in 1858 - the local canals were rolled into the line, and then the Railroad was sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1870. The check was paid to the Estate of Eli Whitney. Endorsed on the reverse by a New York banker, and then cancelled, again in 1924, by the First National Bank of New York. The check was perf-cancelled by AENB, The American Exchange National Bank of New York. Good condition but there is no envelope. An Attractive billing letter.
