MO $27 Bank of FARMINGTON Missouri St Francois County Railroad Co. Nov 5, 1912 For Sale

FARMINGTON Missouri St Francois County Railroad Co. The Bank of Farmington$27.62 Nov 5, 1912~ 8 5/8 X 3 1/2 inchesIssued in 1912, this check from the St. Francois County Railroad Company reflects the financial heartbeat of a small Missouri short‑line serving Farmington and the wider lead‑mining district. By the early 20th century, the railroad was a crucial connector between rural producers, regional merchants, and major carriers feeding St. Louis. Corporate stationery of the period often featured promotional vignettes, and the trolley‑style railcar engraved at left evokes the interurban ambitions many short‑lines pursued before automobiles reshaped local travel. The check’s clearing trail—moving from the Bank of Farmington through St. Louis institutions like the National Bank of Commerce—captures authentic commercial movement in a pre‑electronic banking era. Surviving examples of small‑line railroad fiscal paper are scarce, especially with full endorsement chains.Choo! Choo!
