Hopefully!
Hello , was it an item for sale by chance ? or a display piece ?
Regards, Wil / Colorado
That is a neat item. I've seen asking prices as high as about $500. Some recent actual sales of similar checks (on Heritage, for example) realized prices closer to $100, however. That particular check was issued through the Leavenworth Kansas bank. I would like to find one issued at the Denver location. Those reportedly exist, but I don't recall ever seeing any. The script notes are another matter. Only two such notes have ever sold on Heritage. In 2013 a Kansas issued $1 note (apparent VF) sold for $47,000 and in 2008 a Colorado proof (unissued) $5 note (VF+) sold for $126,000.
My Clark Gruber paper collection includes this item I picked up on eBay for a modest amount. It is Gruber's personal stock certificate for a Leadville mining company in 1881 (signed by Gruber in three places):
Some time ago I also picked up these two US revenue stamps with "E.H. GRUBER & CO. LEAVENWORTH, KAN" cancellations:
Recently I acquired this 1894 Cripple Creek check with E.H. Gruber signatures (note the hand-written serial number "1"):
I have yet to see anything signed by either of the Clark brothers.
Cool stuff. Congrats!

Great old documents... I wonder if any of our contemporary documents will survive 100-200 years and be sold as collectibles.....Not likely....and the more we move to digital, the less likely it is. Cheers, RickO
Very cool indeed!
