BLACK BART the LAST STICK-UP & CAPTURE by WELLS FARGO 1883 PRINTED CHECK STUB

As Wells Fargo transported much of the California gold, it was a natural for hold-ups. Black Bart (Charlie Boles) was considered one of the most famous & polite thieves of the era (having never shot a soul & never robbed passengers). He was caught in 1883, the same year that this ‘to WELLS FARGO, NEW YORK CITY’ check stub was printed by Parsons Paper Company of Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Guaranteed Genuine.
