Between the Covers

Hardcover. Quarter cloth and oblong marbled paper over boards. Measuring 11" x 3¾". Partially printed checks attached to perforated stubs, each check with a handsome wood engraved vignette of a blacksmith. Some offsetting on front board, small cracks on the rear board, first check a bit age-toned, very good. Presumably of generic design, no personal name appears on the checks. Approximately 40 unused checks, with stubs remaining for perhaps 20 more that were used. Most of the stubs are blank, but a few are dated between 1894 and 1897, with a couple at the end dated 1910. No evidence of the owner, but there is some indication the checks were written to people in New York.
