Description: Yes, that Flatiron Building!! One of the most iconic buildings in the world, whose ownership issued these lovely steel-engraved coupons to repay a 30-year $1000 bond in 1910! Each coupon was redeemable for $32.50 in U.S. Gold Coin!! Each is individually serial numbered on front and back and has the engraved signature of the company's treasurer. Due dates fall between 1932 and 1940, though engraved in 1910. Serial number of coupon may vary. "OWN A PIECE OF THE FLATIRON BUILDING!" * BUY NOW PRICE IF FOR ONE COUPON! * Coupon was "redeemable by the bearer for $32.50 IN GOLD COIN" and originally part of a $1,000 bond certificate issued by the Flatiron Building Corporation in 1910 and due to be paid during the Depression years of the 1930s. It was never cashed in. I presume that the corporation defaulted on this bond payment in the depth of the Great Depression. However...so far as I know the Flatiron Building is still "alive and well" at 5th Avenue and Broadway, and is very much "in the black" commercially. That being the case, it's just possible that that this bond coupon might still be redeemable for $32.50 -- plus interest accrued at 6 1/2% over more than 110 years! Not that you'd ever part with it. You'd be losing the collectible of a lifetime! And a big little piece of Flatiron Building history!
