Autographed Check on the Cashier of the Miami Exporting Company, 1815, signed by William Henry Harrison. Ninth President of the United States. A check for $10.00 drawn on the Miami Exporting Company dated June 3, 1815. A check drawn after the War of 1812 on a company that operated as one of the largest banks of issue in Ohio at the time. Eventually, the bank would fail in a few short years. Sharply signed with a hammer cancel that touches the left of the signature. An ink streak at the upper left. Corner mounted to a display board with shaved lower corners in the wide margin. Quite a pleasing check.
