Descripción:
The eighth wealthiest American of all time was a German-born lumber magnate who began his empire in Rock Island, Illinois in 1856, starting as a night fireman at a sawmill and working his way up until he owned this sawmill, then began adding more until the "Weyerhauser Syndicate" was enormous; he moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1900, where the firm still operates and is the world's largest timber seller. Partly-Printed Document Signed, 1p, 8 3/4" X 3 3/4", Rock Island, IL, 1881 November 15. Very good. Ornate check drawn on the Peoples National Bank, printed in black on blue stock and featuring decorative border, a variety of ornate typefaces and a steel-engraved vignette at left showing a puffing locomotive at a train station. The check has been made out to Weyerhaeuser in the amount of $25,000 and is signed by the bank president, Bailey Davenport. Davenport (1823-90) was the son of Davenport, Iowa's murdered founding father, fur trader/Indian agent/frontiersman Colonel George Davenport (1783-1845), and was himself a wealthy banker, real estate entrepreneur, and mayor of Davenport during the Civil War. On the check's verso, Weyerhaeuser signs boldly, adding "pat to the Order / of H C Putnam" above. Below this, Putnam then signs. (Henry Cleveland Putnam, 1832-1912, was a Wisconsin lumber baron and philanthropist, one of the founders of Eau Claire.) Three more unidentified persons also sign below Putnam. Twenty-five thousand dollars was a huge sum of money in 1881. Real estate developer Davenport and Weyerhaeuser (who also served on the board of directors of this bank) surely had many and complex business dealings -- as Weyerhaeuser likewise also had with fellow lumber baron Putnam. Weyerhaeuser's syndicate was vast and he had arrangements with a large number of other lumber businesses. It's possible the transaction had to do with the purchase of timber lands, but this warrants further research. In any case, a unique and intriguing document. N° de ref. del artículo 40617

Descripción Known as the "Father of the House of Representatives" for his lengthy (13 terms) service, this Pennsylvania representative served from 1887 to 1913. Partly-printed ADS, 1p, 3½" X 8½", n.p. [Washington, DC], n.d. [1895 September 25 inkstamped]. Near fine. Partly-printed Bureau of Pensions form for Congressional use. Dalzell pens in Loveina M. Kunkle of Pittsburgh as the claimant for soldier Jacob L. Kunkle of Company "I," 11th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and requests to be advised on "present status claim," signing boldly. A private named Jacob L. Kunkle (1843-63) is known to have enrolled at Kittanning, Pennsylvania in 1862 and died of "Congestion of the Brain" in Virginia in 1862; Loveina was obviously next of kin, though her relationship is unclear, and presumably petitioned her congressman to find out if she could receive any pension because of this relationship. It's not believed Jacob Kunkle was married, so perhaps she was a sister. Nº de ref. del artículo: 31608

Descripción This amiable American leading man of the late 1930s (best known for "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell") appeared in dozens of films well into the 1990s; he became more popular than ever late in life, appearing in "Trading Places" (1983) and winning an Oscar for the 1985 film "Cocoon." Partly-printed TDS, 1p, 9¼" X 3", Hollywood, CA, 1936 August 8. Near fine. Pale orange check drawn on the California Bank, typed out to "CASH" in the amount of $150.00 and boldly signed in black ink by Ameche. Normal bank perforation cancellations (not touching signature). An attractive piece from quite early in Ameche's career -- his film debut had only occurred the previous year. It wasn't until 1939 that his most famous role as Alexander Graham Bell would make him a household name -- and actually make the name "ameche" synonymous with the telephone, as in "You're wanted on the ameche!" Accompanied by an 8½" X 11" reproduction of an early head-and-shoulders caricature of a smiling young Ameche. Nº de ref. del artículo: 40809
