Personal check, 7.75 x 3, filled out and signed by Taft as president, “Wm. H. Taft,” payable to The Ropes Drug Company for $3.50, September 14, 1909. Two vertical folds (one passing through a single letter of the signature), a paperclip impression to the upper left, and mild overall wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. This is the first Taft check signed as president that we’ve ever encountered and according to American Book Prices Current, there hasn’t been one sold since Sotheby’s, 1979.
