This is an "F & E Check Protector" produced by the Hedman Company. This vintage piece was used primarily during the mid-20th century to imprint checks with a unique number and dollar amount, providing a way to deter check alteration or fraud. It operated mechanically, using a series of levers, keys, and a handle to stamp or emboss checks.

Details about this item:

1.

Manufacturer: The Hedman Company was known for producing financial security equipment, with this check protector being one of their more popular products.

2.

Function: The F & E Check Protector worked by pressing the numbers into a check, either embossing them directly onto the paper or using a specialized ink. This practice helped prevent the fraudulent modification of checks.

3.

Features: The keys on the machine allowed the user to set the desired numeric value to be stamped. The lever on the side would then be cranked to apply pressure and imprint the set numbers onto the check.

Overall, it represents a bygone era of business equipment and has nostalgic value as well as potential collectible interest, especially for those who appreciate vintage office machinery.
