SAVANNAH HOTEL BANK DRAFT CHECK

This item is a hotel bank draft check from the Savannah Hotel in Savannah, Georgia that is dated December 18, 1953. It's made out in the amount of ten dollars. The draft features an illustration of the Savannah Hotel on the front. The way I understand it, the hotel made these drafts available to their customers so that they could be given cash in the days before ATM machines. The customer would sign the draft and the hotel would give the amount of cash stated on the draft to the customer. The amount given would then be transferred from the customer's bank account and placed into the account of the hotel. This customer's bank was the Atlantic National Bank in Jacksonville, Florida. The draft was hole punched when it cleared the customer's bank and the draft was then returned to the customer similar to the way a canceled check is returned. A neat collectible for collectors of hotel ephemera. The buyer pays $5.00 for USPS Ground Advantage (First Class Package) shipping.I will mail this item with a cardboard liner to prevent the item from being damaged while in transit.
