c1894 Lot of 17: Various Bank of Nevada signed and cancelled checks, all signed by Theo Winters. The Winters family initially settled in Yolo County. When the gold strikes happened in Nevada, they began hauling freight from Placerville to the Carson Valley. In the 1850`s, the Winters family became wealthy from their freighting business, and from holdings in the Comstock. At one point, they owned 18,000 acres of land in California and Nevada. Theo Winters would later lose most of his lands and fortune pursuing politics. All checks are quite legible, and in excellent condition. - HKA#65224
