Bellefonte, PA
1870
$8.00
Purple on white paper, great vignette of a dog guarding a safe. Draft issued in the amount of $1,944 made payable to the Cash Centre Co. Banking Co.
In August 1870, the 2¢ check tax was still in effect, but the space for applying a revenue stamp is empty. Thus, the issuer, H. Brockerhoff, was in violation of the law for not paying the required tax.
Creases and numerous small faults.
