Scarce: a cheque of Klinger’s Bank, a small private local bank in Safed under the British Mandate.
Bilingual Hebrew-English cheque No. 12490, issued in Safed in 1943, payable in Palestine Pounds (P.P.). It bears an embossed stamp-duty seal, a violet “PAID” cancel of Klinger’s Bank Safed dated March 1943, and a stamp of the Anglo-Palestine Bank Ltd, South Branch, Tel Aviv. The reverse has several handwritten Hebrew endorsements, the stamp of “Slonim & Kretschmer”, a "סולק" (cleared) stamp and the clearing stamp of the Anglo-Palestine Bank, Safed Branch. Material from Safed’s small local banks is seldom seen and is sought after by collectors of Mandate-period Palestine and Eretz Israel banking history. Light toning, a small stain at the lower edge and a rust mark at the left.
Condition: Used, good.
