Lelands refunded me and I bought the Walter instead. But only after a great exchange with Hank Thomas. I appreciate his help.

Is that an imprint of a cross on the right side of the check?

That's how they use to "cancel" checks. They would cut that design through it. Kind of an X cross cut

Picked this one up from a fellow board member, it's in transit

It is called a cut cancel. They can also be found on some stamps, mainly revenue and tax stamps from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
