Check made out to Dr. J. Oppenheimer.
The last name and the first letter of the first name match Julius Robert Oppenheimer - the "father of the atomic bomb", whose movie story is the blockbuster of this year. We have put this check under public discussion on our Facebook profile and it is probably not related to the above-mentioned person. J.R. Oppenheimer used his middle name Robert, his signature looks different, and he received his doctorate according to Wikipedia in 1927 (this check from late 1926). Discussion to follow here
