Check Signed by Declaration of Independence Signer George Clymer -- Excellent Signature of Pennsylvania Representative to First U.S. Congress

Check signed by Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution signer George Clymer dated 16 December 181_ for ten dollars. The Philadelphia patriot died in January 1813, so the check would have been written between 1810 and 1812. 5.75'' x 2.5'' check, drawn on the Philadelphia Bank, of which Clymer was the first president, is signed: ''Geo Clymer''. He adds a handwritten notation below his signature. Discreet cancellation slits, two through signature. Very good condition.
