Bank check, 7.5 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Arthur, payable to George Hillier for $300.00, July 1, 1874. A two-cent revenue stamp is affixed to the upper left, initialed by Arthur. Cancellation cut and bank stamp to body, and light show-through from endorsements on reverse, otherwise fine condition. In 1871, New York Republican Senator Roscoe Conkling helped Chester A. Arthur get appointed as Collector of the Port of New York by Republican President Ulysses S. Grant. The New York Customs House then had close ties to Boss Conkling’s political machine, giving jobs to supporters of his wing of the Republican party.
