B66-53 CHECK PROTECTOR. Wiliams Automatic. Back in the early day of paper checks, check protectors were used to punch raised or perforated numbers to prevent forgery. The "Automatic" check punch invented by John Newton Williams in 1884 was one of the most popular versions and was endorsed by U.S. Treasury Department. It featured a rotating series of punches on a 6" square base. This one is clean and functioning, with some corrosion on the nickel parts and loss of paint, but has most of its pinstriping. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 350-700
