Featured in this lot is this 12 days prior to O.K. Corral Shootout cut from Pima County Bank check circa Oct. 14, 1881 and displayed in the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. The check is cut from the Agency of Pima County Bank paid to the order of Thomas Newman for $55.32 and signed by P.W. Smith. This check was cut 12 days before the shooting at the O.K. Corral on Oct. 26, 1881. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, and remains one of the most famous shootouts of the American Old West. The confrontation involved lawmen Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with Doc Holliday, facing off against members of the Cowboy faction, including Billy Clanton, Tom McLaury, and Frank McLaury. Though the actual gunfight lasted less than 30 seconds, it left three Cowboys dead and became a defining moment in the struggle between law and outlaw in the frontier mining town. The event cemented Tombstone’s place in Western legend and American history. The condition of this Pima County Bank Note is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage and shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this bank note is 3 1/4" x 8". TTD-376
