Re: The Teardrops Yorkshire Checks

I can't think of any others.

These were all used as pay checks as far as I know. Can anyone confirm between which years they were used? They obviously pre-date the later machine stamed "diamond" and then "house" shape pay checks which were used in the same area of the South Yorks Coalfield (see Doncaster Area Pay Checks).
