A vinyl-covered wirebound checkbook for Marilyn Monroe’s personal account at Irving Trust Company in New York City, annotated “MM Personal” on the cover. The checkbook covers Monroe’s New York expenses from September 25, 1961, through February 23, 1962, with check numbers 1802 through 1951, offering a fascinating look at Monroe’s expenses as she entered the final year of her life.

Several Marilyn Monroe signed checks are included with her signature having been ripped from the check so it couldn’t be cashed. However, in one case, the remnants of Monroe’s signature are still present.
