Old Stock Certificate

Post by PA Knives »

Another teaser for all of you. This is a stock certicate issued to W.R. Brown. Notice how the "Razor" is crossed out and "Cutlery" inserted. This is dated 1910 and was after the name change in 1909. Of course W.R was the president of Union until his death in 1924. I was thrilled to find this one, especially with the names and tranisition information clearly defined. enjoy

This type of collectible is right up my alley. I've always been overly fascinated with investments and that old stock certificate really tripped my trigger. I hadn't ever even thought about keeping an eye out for those.

Anybody else have some to show? I'd really like to see some more. ::nod:: Very cool!

I love old stock certificates - they can be true works of art. I have a few old railroad company certificates.
