$37.50
One of the smallest checks we’ve handled, not by amount (that would be $1) but in size, measuring a mere 5″ x 2.75″. Please see its companion, item JCO-57 of which the bank name was altered to indicate the succesor bank in the following year.
Black on white paper, large purple cashier’s handstamp, and stylized black penmanship make for a very attractive, if not diminutive check.
