The checks are blank and have a note in pencil in the margin that reads 1897 Sis said this Bank closed 40 years ago Eastwood - that means that the checks would date to around 1857.  The Bank of Upper Canada was established in 1821 in York (Toronto) and was associated with the Family Compact, which was a small group of men who wielded great power and wealth in Upper Canada, and considered anti-democratic.  The bank had a monopoly and was rather abusive in pursuit of debtors, however, its monopoly was slowly eroded during the 1840s.  By 1863 the Bank was struggling and in 1866 it closed its doors.   \u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hamilton branch was established prior to 1860 as a photo by William Notman of the building exists that was taken in 1860.

The photo is signed in the lower left hand corner by Levin and I believe that it dates to the late 50s.  It is an original photographic print, probably used as a publicity piece.  It is framed under glass in a heavy wood frame.  The photo itself measures 15 1\/4 by 19 1\/2 while the frame measures 18 1\/2 by 22 5\/8.  It weighs 4 lbs and 3 oz..  The photo is in very good condition - a bit of a bluish scuff near Levins signature, but otherwise in great shape, well maintained by being under glass all these years.  The wood frame has some scratching and scuffing.

This illumination was given to him on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his membership, which, as the document states, was recognized by King George VI.  Mr. Best has C.B.E. after his name, which I believe stands for Commander of the British Empire.  The document is signed at the bottom by his fellow members.
