Louisville, New Albany & Chicago payroll check, circa 1894 for $.63. Yep, sixty three cents. Hope the employee did not spend it all in one place. I wonder what that would equate to in dollars in 2005?

Check to the Deepwater Railroad Company, April 27, 1906

  

Here is something found in the Archive. A booklet of Excess Valuation Stamps.
Left: Cover of the booklet.
Right: One page of stamps. These stamps were purchased by passengers. The booklet was intact with no stamps missing. According to Mahlon Eberhard these stamps were sold in the larger stations, like Chicago, Louisville, Bloomington, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Greencastle and Crawfordsville. They were used when the passenger wanted added insurance on items being shipped. This provided additional coverage in the event of a loss. They were purchased when the ticket was purchased and the baggage checked. These stamps are circa early 1950's. There was also Excess Baggage Stamps booklets too.
