RN-C22 The Bank of San Jose

Intense black on white paper, very fresh. We’re classifying the imprint as C22 because its color is nowhere close to orange. To our eye it’s closer to brown than it is to “salmon” as listed in Scott. Castenholz only lists this check with C21, and perhaps it is some kind of “shade.” Either way, our pricing does not reflect this as being an unlisted color or check.

Signed James T. Brown who, per the ms. notation above the dateline, was the superintendent of the Guadalupe Mine.
