Item description

Original 1958 South Carolina funeral-service promissory note issued in Conway, South Carolina, for $759.24 in connection with funeral expenses for Mrs. Eula Mishoe Watts, deceased. The note was payable to Goldfinch’s, Inc., a long-established Conway funeral business, and was due September 15, 1958, with 5% interest after maturity. The document includes handwritten entries, original signatures, a red Professional Discount Corporation of Spartanburg, S.C. processing stamp, and four attached 8-cent South Carolina Documentary revenue stamps, totaling 32 cents. The reverse bears an endorsement from Goldfinch’s, Inc., dated January 21, 1958. An interesting piece of South Carolina legal, financial, funeral-home and revenue-stamp history. Especially suitable for collectors of Horry County or Conway memorabilia, fiscal stamps, vintage business documents and genealogy-related ephemera. Condition is good for its age with expected toning, fold lines, minor staining, edge wear and a rough left edge. Revenue stamps remain firmly attached. Writing and printed text are clear and legible. Please review all photographs for exact condition and content. Guaranteed original period document—not a reproduction.
