Lot of 10 checks signed by oil billionaire J. Paul Getty. Most are dated in the 1940's, though one is dated in 1953. Each check is made out in type and signed in ink, ''J. Paul Getty''. Getty was known for his penny-pinching, even negotiating the kidnapping ransom for his grandson, believing it at first to be a hoax. Checks vary in size; four measure 8.25'' x 3'' and six measure 6.5'' x 3'', each with standard bank cancellations and filing punch holes. Overall very good to near fine condition.
