Stock Certificate","description":"Very Rare Antique 1890s Chattanooga Rome and Southern Railroad\u003cbr\u003eCompany Stock Certificate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 3\/4\" x 7 1\/4\" ~\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a beautiful certificate in amazing condition unissued and\u003cbr\u003esigned by the company President. This is a special one and I only\u003cbr\u003ehave a few of them so grab one of these while you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis company was established in 1897 and built a rail that\u003cbr\u003efinally connected Chattanooga, TN to Carrollton, GA opening up a\u003cbr\u003eton of possibilities. This drew the attention of the Central of\u003cbr\u003eGeorgia Railway which purchased CR\u0026amp;amp;S in 1901 and added the\u003cbr\u003erailroad company to their line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy pictures seriously can't do it justice!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine hanging this vintage historic collectible on your wall as\u003cbr\u003ehome decor in any room! Stock certificates are another thing that\u003cbr\u003eis limited in supply and once they are gone into museums and\u003cbr\u003ecollections they will be hard to get. They are such historic\u003cbr\u003edocuments with so much history behind them. The first stock\u003cbr\u003ecertificate was issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company.\u003cbr\u003e407 years of history later the Walt Disney Company issued one of\u003cbr\u003ethe last paper stock certificates from a major corporation in\u003cbr\u003e2013.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese had to be done on heavy paper stock, almost like a dollar\u003cbr\u003ebill but stiffer and more durable, which makes them stay vibrant\u003cbr\u003eand new looking for a long time. The other very unique thing\u003cbr\u003eabout stock and bond certificates is they have all kinds of\u003cbr\u003einteresting signatures and you honestly never know whom you will\u003cbr\u003efind. Almost all stocks are signed by the company President and\u003cbr\u003eSecretary. Some collectors research the other signatures and\u003cbr\u003ehistoric significance and it adds so much provenance and value to\u003cbr\u003ean already valuable item. I have never done this as I can barely\u003cbr\u003eread my own signature let alone one from over 100 years ago and\u003cbr\u003ewith the time it would take to do thousands of certificates my\u003cbr\u003emother and I decided years ago not to bother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is a full antique.","brand":"drivebys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41194136502329,"sku":"","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/9570\/0793\/products\/very-rare-antique-1890s-chattanooga-rome-southern-railroad-stock-certificate-vintage-bond-117.webp?v=1679635039","url":"https:\/\/drivebys.myshopify.com\/products\/very-rare-antique-1890s-chattanooga-rome-and-southern-railroad-co-stock-certificate","provider":"drivebys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
