A highly desirable and historically rich Theodore Roosevelt signed check, dated 1912, and drawn on the Astor Trust Company of New York. Entirely filled out and signed in Roosevelt’s hand, the check is made payable to “The Century Association” an intriguing detail linking the former president to one of New York’s most prominent private clubs and cultural institutions.

Roosevelt’s bold, unmistakable signature anchors the piece, while the body of the check—written in his hand—adds significant depth and authenticity. Unlike standalone autographs, fully handwritten financial documents such as this offer multiple layers of collectibility, including period banking elements, manuscript content, and clear provenance indicators.

Dated during Roosevelt’s 1912 presidential campaign—the year he ran as the Progressive (“Bull Moose”) Party candidate—this check captures a moment from one of the most dynamic periods of his post-presidential life. The Astor Trust Company imprint and ornate design further enhance its visual and historical appeal.

Well-preserved and highly displayable, this piece represents an intersection of presidential history, New York institutional culture, and early 20th-century Americana. Ideal for advanced collectors of presidential autographs, political history, or manuscript material.
