Offered is one Original Jack London Hand Signed Cancelled Check. Completely filled out in his own hand, and signed, "Jack London" in black ink. Drawn on an account at the Central Bank of Oakland in Oakland, Cal., dated October 3, 1906, and payable to R. A. Leet & Co. in the amount of $44.59.

Expected cancellation hole with center tear and staple holes at left. Vertical paid stamp moderately overlapping signature. Customary bank stamps on verso. Measures approximately 2 ¾" x 6 ½".

Comes with Certificate of Authenticity from R&R Enterprises, one of the most well respected auction houses in the country.

Although well known as an American novelist, London was an accomplished photographer as well, producing nearly twelve thousand photographs during his lifetime, including documenting the 1906 San Francisco earthquake as a photojournalist for Collier's magazine. R. A. Leet & Co. Oakland, California sold stationary, as well as photography supplies and equipment. Based on my research, it appears that Jack London is using a R. A. Leet & Co. wood tripod in the image to the left which I include only for illustrative purposes. Photo of London is NOT included.

Excellent clean condition. Tiny chip to upper right corner. Check has been stored in an acid-free archival safe sheet protector for 20 years. Never displayed.

**IF THIS LISTING IS ACTIVE, THEN THE ITEM IS STILL AVAILABLE.
