Description: Introducing the Vintage Pennsylvania Railroad Stock Certificate Green, a rare gem featuring the iconic Horseshoe Curve. This unique item, representing 100 Shares from the 1950s—1960s, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Pennsylvania Railroad, immortalized in the Monopoly board game. Owning this Americana is a fantastic tribute to our nation's history. 12" x 8" ~ The Pennsylvania Railroad, also known as the 'Pennsy,' was more than just a railroad. It was an American Class I railroad established in 1846 and headquartered in Philadelphia. Named after the commonwealth in which it was established, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a significant part of American history. At its peak in 1882, it was the largest railroad, transportation enterprise, and corporation globally, a testament to its historical importance. Imagine adorning your wall with this vintage historic collectible, a unique piece of home decor for any room! Stock certificates are a rare find, being a limited commodity. Once they are all housed in museums and collections, they will be hard to come by. These historic documents have a rich history, with the first stock certificate issued in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company. 407 years later, the Walt Disney Company issued one of the last paper stock certificates from a major corporation in 2013. My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock, almost like a dollar bill, but stiffer and more durable, making them stay vibrant and new for a long time. The other unique thing about stock certificates is that they have all kinds of exciting signatures, and you never know who you will find them. Almost all stocks are signed by the company President and Secretary. Some collectors research the other signatures and historical significance, and they add so much provenance and value to an already valuable item. I have never done this as I can barely read my signature, let alone one from over 100 years ago, and the time it would take to do thousands of certificates, my mother and I decided years ago not to bother.
