29th President. Rare personal check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed “Warren G. Harding” AS PRESIDENT, payable to “Woodward & Lothrop” for $15.00, June 19, 1923.
A scarce signed check from President Harding, one of only a few we have ever seen offered.
Expected cancellation holes which just touch first two letters of signature. Two bank stamps and two small areas of tape remnants on verso.
Accompanied by an additional Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication / JSA
In the Spring of 1923, the President, along with his wife Florence Harding and a number of officials, embarked on a trans-continental tour to Alaska and Canada, the first President to do so, known as The Voyage of Understanding, where he attended the completion of the Alaska railroad in Nenena, attended formal events, met with Canadian officials, and spoke before a large crowd of citizens. He then proceeded on to California, stopping July 31 in San Francisco. The President, having grown ill, passed away on August 2 and the remainder of the tour was canceled.
He left the White House for the last time on June 20 - just one day after paying his May Account with the Washington DC department store Woodward & Lothrop where he was a prominent customer during his many years in DC, making this one of his last signatures from the White House.
